Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan

Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s first permanent structure establishes the theatre company on its longtime site along the scenic Meewasin Trail and South Saskatchewan River.

Location Saskatoon, SK

The project sees the creation of five modular buildings on the iconic site near other cultural, recreational, and educational hubs. Patrons, actors, staff, and volunteers are transported to a world separated from the city by the Meewasin Valley forest and the river.

Designed to reflect the company’s ethos of contemporary takes on familiar works, the buildings incorporate elements of the Tudor architecture of Shakespeare’s time into contemporary forms. The project focuses on hosting theatre but has the flexibility to allow for other uses throughout the year.

The amphitheater allows for thrust, proscenium, and in-the-round stage configurations to suit different productions. Designed with extensive consultation with the company and other stakeholders, the buildings and site respect Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s history, the area’s cultural heritage, and the site’s natural landscape.
