Now that the snow has melted away, we know you're thinking of the warm months of sunshine and summertime that await us ahead! USask Drama is thrilled to once again be running a handful of weeks of our smash-hit kids camps, "Making a Scene!" Each week is run with a unique theme to give a different spin on engaging with theatre, and our drama students take the campers through a whole variety of games, exercises, make-and-take design projects, and more ☺️

Two camp weeks have already totally filled up (waitlists are available), which leaves two weeks of camp left to get your fix of theatre this summer:
🤡 Comedy, Clown, and Improv - July 6-10, 2026
🐉 Myths & Stories - July 27-31, 2026

"PLAY" curated by Ken MacKenzie and Beverley Kobelsky (and supported by many others!)
This installation is made up of a wide variety of pieces pulled from the complex and imaginative design world that lives within Greystone Theatre. It serves as a compact time capsule of sorts, with both digital and physical elements from all avenues of theatre design, some from 80 years ago and some from much more recently! The freedom to play is part of what keeps theatre alive and ever-changing, and we here at USask Drama strive to embrace it at every turn. ✨🪀

Entry to the gallery is free, and the installation will be in place until May of this year. Stop by to check out all that we've put on display!

Ruffs, ruffs, and more ruffs! From the brilliant mind of Beverley Kobelsky, our resident wardrobe afficionado, comes the latest in our celebratory proceedings: a series of Elizabethan Collars (and skulls!) placed around the U of S campus. It's well worth a wander through the galleries and museums to get a look at what Hamlet may have looked like if he were a T-Rex! Thank you to our on-campus partners who helped make this installation possible through ladders, lifts, and most of all permission to add some dramatic flair to their spaces 😊
