Founded in 1974, Persephone Theatre stands as one of Canada's largest theaters and holds the title of the largest in Saskatchewan. This cultural gem was brought to life by the creative minds of Janet and Susan Wright and Brian Richmond, who served as the theater's first artistic director. Persephone Theatre has a proud tradition of championing the arts in Saskatoon. In 2007, it found a new home at the stunning Remai Arts Centre at River Landing. This move marked a new chapter in its history, allowing the theater to expand its offerings to include a six-play Main Stage series, a three-play second stage series called The Deep End, and six productions for young audiences, complete with a provincial tour. Persephone Theatre is dedicated to nurturing new works and supporting local playwrights, keeping the creative spirit alive and thriving.
If you find yourself in Saskatoon, catching a show at Persephone Theatre is a must. The venue itself offers a modern, intimate setting that enhances the entire theater experience. Whether you're a theater aficionado or a curious newcomer, there's something magical about watching a story unfold live on stage. Plus, the surrounding area of River Landing is perfect for a leisurely stroll along the South Saskatchewan River, with plenty of spots to grab a bite or a coffee before or after the show.
