Since getting married, Glen and Sandy Golden have celebrated their wedding anniversary by spending a romantic weekend at the same cottage. Every year, for 50 years – well, almost. A week ago, Sandy called off their big 50th anniversary party and kicked Glen to the curb. Now, he wants to talk. Join the Goldens as they recount the good, the bad, and the ugly of spending half a century together. From the writer of The Birds and the Bees, a recent Persephone audience favourite, The Golden Anniversaries is a comedy-drama about marriage, memory, and a long-term love for the ages.⁠

For 52 years, Persephone Theatre has been proud to help shape Saskatchewan's arts community. A huge and important part of this has been our Youth Series programming and provincial Youth Tour, derived from our belief that all young people deserve access to the incredible power of theatre.

Several years ago, Persephone created the Adopt-A-School Program to provide an opportunity for schools that may not have the funds or resources to access our youth programming. During the pandemic, this program was put on hold.

We are delighted to announce that it is making it's long-awaited return!

With the Adopt-A-School program, community donations and sponsorships will enable us to remove the financial barriers for community schools and provide the opportunity for students to attend a Youth Series student matinee at Persephone Theatre, or to bring the Youth Tour right to their school!

For more information on how you can get involved with this wonderful program, please reach out to Kristi Friday, Artistic Associate - Youth Programming, at (306) 384-2126 or at [email protected]

Persephone Theatre is pleased to announce our next Theatre Club event!

Please join us in the Main Stage after the matinee performance of The Golden Anniversaries on Sunday, October 25 at 4 p.m. for Acting Golden: Sharing Decades of Experience! This is a free event that is open to all, regardless of if you attended the show that afternoon.

Acting Golden is a moderated conversation between veteran actors and stars of The Golden Anniversaries, Peter Anderson and Eileen Barrett! Together, they will share stories, wisdom, advice and more from their combined decades of professional theatre work, and the working realities of being a seasoned senior theatre artist.

This event will be moderated by Cynthia Dyck, a longstanding and dedicated member of our local theatre community and member of Persephone Theatre's Board of Directors.

See you there!

About Peter: The recipient of nine Jessie Awards and multiple nominations, Peter is delighted to be debuting at Persephone. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Dell’Arte School of Physical Theatre, and a founding member of the Caravan Farm Theatre, for whom he has written 14 plays and performed in many shows. His book of prose poems “Mutter” was recently published by above/ground press.

About Eileen: Eileen loves working as a Vocal Eye describer (for blind and partially sighted theatre-goers). She has a Jessie Richardson theatre award and two nominations. She has a Liberal Studies M.A. from SFU, and is a really old Studio 58 graduate. Eileen is thrilled to be here, in Saskatoon, and honored to be working at the beautiful Persephone Theatre.

About Cynthia: Cynthia has been involved in professional theatre, one way or another, for the past forty years. Her first job out of high school was running the box office at the fledgling Persephone Theatre. Since graduating from the UofS Drama Department, she has performed, designed, produced, been a stage manager, a house manager, and a general manager. Cynthia was the Executive Director of On the Boards Staging Company in Saskatoon, SK, which she cofounded as a direct response to the limitations of the traditional model of theatre production. As a Shared Platform, On the Boards anchors the activities of self-producing artists and small organizations with practical administrative and production support. Since leaving On the Boards, Cynthia continues to advocate for the arts, serving on various provincial arts and Saskatoon theatre boards. Persephone’s significant impact to Saskatoon’s arts sector is undeniable, and Cynthia looks forward to contributing to the theatre’s ongoing evolution to serve our dynamic city.
