1. Celebrate 40 Years of Francophone Theatre
La Troupe du Jour celebrates 40 years of creating, producing, and promoting Francophone theatre in Saskatchewan. Radio-Canada's Pascale Bouchard and Manuela Ejake host an '80s-themed evening, featuring a new logo unveiling.

2. Support Queer Theatre
Persephone Theatre presents a play reading of Jen Silverman's Witch. A kick-off to the fifth annual Queermunity Theatre Festival, which runs June 4-6, the play is a dark comedy about saving the world and ourselves. A charming devil bargains for souls, taking villagers' darkest wishes in exchange. The devil thinks Elizabeth, who has been labelled a witch by the others, will be an easy target. But her soul is not easily bought. The reading is Saturday at the theatre's BackStage Stage at 7 p.m. Learn more at persephonetheatre.org.
3. Take an Emotional Journey with the SSO

Guest vocalists soprano Kateryna Khartova and alto Oli Guselle take centre stage on the emotional, musical journey through grief, reflection, tenderness, and light.
