OUR VISION:
Building community through the magic of theatre

Saskatoon Summer Players strives to create welcoming community in all its activities.

OUR HISTORY:
For over 55 years, our productions have been produced, directed and performed by volunteers, giving local talent the opportunity to participate in full-scale musicals. We take pride in providing Saskatoon with a musical theatre experience that continues to delight our patrons.
OUR PATRONS:
It is quite common for our performances to sell-out. Our loyal patrons keep coming back year after year, bringing family members and friends with them to share in the fun of live musical theatre.
OUR VOLUNTEERS:
Since the beginning, we have been supported by a loyal base of committed volunteers. Our volunteers range in age from students to seniors but they all have a love for live theatre, they have talents or skills they want to share, and they believe Saskatoon deserves to see the musicals we produce. Thousands of volunteer hours go into each production, either onstage or behind the scenes in one of the many departments necessary to support a staged production.
OUR SHOWS:
We specialize in producing large-scale Broadway musicals. Nearly all of the shows that we program have received multiple Tony awards, and have received high-praise from audiences before making their way to our stage. We have been the local premier producer for many shows including RENT (2014) and Sweeney Todd (2019). We are honoured to be the recipient of back to back Planet S Best of Saskatoon awards in the Live Theatre category for our productions of Annie (2018) and Sweeney Todd (2019).
