Paper Wheat by 25th Street Theatre
Way back in 1977 an enthusiastic group of young Saskatchewan theatre artists, working at 25 th Street Theatre, went out into rural communities to do research. They ended up creating PAPER WHEAT, which explored the stories of the early homesteaders in our province and the creation of the once-mighty, farmer owned, Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. It was, perhaps, the first truly Saskatchewan theatre – created collectively, telling our own stories, in our own language, and presented in a simple, down to earth, make-do-with-what-you-have kind of aesthetic. It took the country by storm and put us on the theatrical map. It also had a huge influence on me and my generation of Saskatchewan theatre atrtists.
30 years ago Dancing Sky Theatre inherited the mantle of that kind of work – new
Saskatchewan plays, rooted in rural culture, telling our own stories in our own way.
We are now beyond excited to go back and re-visit the play that started it all, in our own
inimitable way. Come and celebrate and reflect with us as Dancing Sky re-visits and re-creates the one and only, mythic PAPER WHEAT.
Dancing Sky Theatre is located in the village of Meacham, SK – just a 50 minute drive east of Saskatoon. Harvest Hall houses the intimate theatre and dining-room where you are able to enjoy a three course, home cooked meal before performances Friday thru Sunday.
