SUMMARY:Flamenco Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:New sights and sounds\, different climates\, diverse cultures: this is what we encounter in other lands. The music of strange languages and unfamiliar ways of life both fascinate and disorient. Uncomfortable perspectives on ourselves emerge when we are away from home.

We create new bonds while missing loved ones far away. \nFlamenco Borealis presents Flamenco Odyssey\, a live music and dance performance which takes audiences on a voyage through the emotional landscape of the migrant. The powerful language of flamenco dance and music fused with techno beats and opera vocals tells a story of departing from the familiar to the unknown. Join this award-winning company and stellar artist line up for an evening of passionate story telling through music and dance. Discover the intense expressivity\, driving rhythms\, haunting melodies\, poetic elegance\, and explosive energy that is Flamenco art. \nTwo nights only. Flamenco fiesta (party) to follow after the show. \nConcept\, artistic direction and dramaturgy: Daniel Regnier & Lina Kazan\, with the special collaboration of Celedonio Garrido\nComposition\, music production\, guitar & piano: Daniel Regnier\nChoreography and dance: Lina Kazan\nFlamenco Vocals: Celedonio Garrido\nOpera Vocals: Emma Gillingham\nPercussion: Nick Horlick\nCello: Scott McKnight\nSupported by funding from Saskatchewan Arts.\nwww.flamencoborealis.com \n

SUMMARY:Apples and Train Tracks by Arnolda Dufour Bowes
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Roxanne Dicke with dramaturgy by Daniel Macdonald. \nFinding love and self following the aftermath of Road Allowance Métis displacement.  \nInspired by the playwright's father\, who lived as a Road Allowance Métis haunted by memories of his community being forced into railcars and shipped away\, Charlie wrestles with the consequences of intergenerational trauma as he fights to forge a new legacy of love with his wife\, Rose. In 1940\, the government of Tommy Douglas began a campaign to eradicate Métis Road Allowance Communities\, sending their residents to remote Rehabilitation Farms in northern Saskatchewan. \nNow in his mid-thirties\, Charlie finds himself at a crossroads in his work\, his purpose\, and his marriage. Bewildered by flashbacks of his mother\, Bella\, and haunted by the riddles of a seemingly homeless yet mystical woman\, Charlie searches for what he's been chasing—or running from: his uncertain future and the community home he lost. \nAbout the Playwright: \nArnolda Dufour Bowes is a creative artist\, emerging playwright\, and multi-award-winning author of multiple books and stories. Her work 20.12m: A Short Story Collection of a Life Lived as a Road Allowance Métis inspired this play\, which explores a fictionalized account of her Kokum and father's experiences when the 1946 Saskatchewan government imposed the Métis Rehabilitation Farms and forcibly removed families from Road Allowances to Green Lake in the north. Development of this new script has been supported by GTNT's New Voices writers-in-residence program and Burnt Thicket Theatre. Arnolda Dufour Bowes' award-winning book 20.12m\, available at bookstores\, birthed both the play Apples and Train Tracks and her multi-sensory art installation of the same name\, exhibited recently at Batoche National Historic Site in 2025. \nAudience Advisory: This production was not created for young audiences\, although children are welcome to attend at the discretion of their guardian. Contains some coarse language and mature themes.  \nAudio Described Performance: May 3rd at 2pm\nASL Interpretated Performance: May 8th at 7:30pm \nPerformances: \n\nThursday April 30th @ 7:30pm (Preview Night)\nFriday May 1st @ 7:30pm (Opening Night)\nSaturday May 2nd @ 7:30pm\nSunday May 3rd @ 2pm (Audio Described Performance)\nThursday May 7th @ 7:30pm\nFriday May 8th @ 7:30pm (ASL Interpreted Performance)\nSaturday May 9th @ 7:30pm\nSunday May 10th @ 2pm\n\nAll tickets are Pay What You Choose. \nFor more information visit gtnt.ca or burntthickettheatre.com

SUMMARY:Live Five #3 - The Wives. The Concubines. The Ritual.
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd Show of Live Five's 22nd Season\n\nThe Wives. The Concubines. The Ritual.\nBy Peace Akintade\n  \nProduced by So.Glad Arts\nJanuary 8th - 18th\, 2026\n  \n\n\nThe Wives. The Concubines. The Ritual. is a three-act dark romanticism that tells the story of five of King Solomon's three hundred concubines\, left behind during his extended campaign\, overthrowing their oppressive existence through Lilith's ritual\, and transforming their harem into a sanctuary of freedom and forbidden desire. \nSabra\, Kalila\, Ereni\, Ziva\, and Naima embody a metaphor of queerness\, rebellion\, and Sapphic exploration challenging the prescribed roles imposed upon them by their marriage alliance with Solomon. Inspired 1 Kings 11:1-8\, the play reimagines the biblical narrative of Solomon's foreign concubines "turning his heart away\," not as a tale of idolatry and condemnation\, but as a bold reclamation of love and identity. Through whispered conversations and clandestine touches\, they explore the forbidden: sapphic desire\, the power of shared vulnerability\, and the possibility of a life beyond their imposed roles. \nRun time: 2 hours\, 30 minutes (including a 15 minute intermission) \n\nPerformance Dates:\n\nJanuary 8th\, 2026 at 7:30pm (PWYC Preview)\nJanuary 9th \, 2026 at 7:30pm (Opening)\nJanuary 10th\, 2026 at 7:30pm (Queer Night Out)\nJanuary 11th\, 2026 at 2:00pm\nJanuary 15th\, 2026 at 7:30pm\nJanuary 16th \, 2026 at 7:30pm\nJanuary 17th\, 2026 at 7:30pm (Black (and Brown) Out Night)\nJanuary 18th\, 2026 at 2:00pm\n\n\nCommunity Events:\nQUEER NIGHT OUT - January 10\, 2026  \nQueer Night Out at the Theatre is an exclusive evening dedicated to the queer community\, celebrating a queer story created by Peace Akintade and brought to life by queer artists.

Yaga is a modern story\nbased on the Slavic folklore of Baba Yaga. \nThis genre-bending comedic fairy tale meets thrilling whodunit\ngives voice to an antihero of epic proportions while interrogating\nhow her story has historically been told by men. From now on\,\nyou’ll remember the name Baba Yaga for the right reasons. \n  \nGoodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)\nby Ann-Marie MacDonald \nProduced by Fatal Fem Theatre \nNovember 20-23 and 27-30\, 2025 \nGoodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is an exuberant comedy and feminist re-envisioning of Shakespeare's Othello and Romeo and Juliet. It takes us from a dusty office at Queen's University\, into the fraught and furious worlds of two of Shakespeare's best-known tragedies\, and turns them upside-down. \n  \n\nThe Wives. The Concubines. The Ritual.\n\nby Peace Akintade \nProduced by So.Glad Arts \nJanuary 8-11 and 15-18\, 2026 \nThe Wives. The Concubines. The Ritual. is a three-act dark romanticism that tells the story of five of King Solomon's three hundred concubines\, left behind during his extended campaign\, overthrowing their oppressive existence through Lilith's ritual\, and transforming their harem into a sanctuary of freedom and forbidden desire. \nSabra\, Kalila\, Ereni\, Ziva\, and Naima embody a metaphor of queerness\, rebellion\, and Sapphic exploration challenging the prescribed roles imposed upon them by their marriage alliance with Solomon. Inspired 1 Kings 11:1-8\, the play reimagines the biblical narrative of Solomon's foreign concubines "turning his heart away\," not as a tale of idolatry and condemnation\, but as a bold reclamation of love and identity. Through whispered conversations and clandestine touches\, they explore the forbidden: sapphic desire\, the power of shared vulnerability\, and the possibility of a life beyond their imposed roles. \n  \nThe Boat\n\n\n\nby Todd Devonshire \n\n\n\nProduced by Highway 55 Productions \nFebruary 26-March 1 and March 5-8\, 2026 \nThe Boat tells the story of Carmen and Jane\, two doctors in the 1960s\, who have set up a boat clinic off the coast of Nova Scotia\, in international waters\, and under the flag of a country in which abortion is not a crime. There\, they offer pregnant women a safe environment in which to make a choice. But not everyone who boards the boat is telling the truth. \n  \nAssassins\nby John Weidman & Stephen Sondheim \nProduced by Sorry/Grateful Productions \nApril 16-19 and 23-26\, 2026 \nA multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force\, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of America's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it\, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold\, original\, disturbing and alarmingly funny. \nUsing the framing device of an all-American\, yet sinister\, carnival game\, Assassins portrays a group of historical figures who attempted (successfully or not) to assassinate presidents of the United States\, and explores what their presence in American history says about the ideals of their country.
