Mar 3 to 17 Billy Bishop Goes to War presented by Persephone Theatre
Persephone Theatre, River Landing
Follow Canadian World War I flying ace Billy Bishop on his feats of daring, and into the trenches as he struggles to reconcile the ecstasy of flying with the horrors of war. Awarded the Military Cross, Distinguished Service Award and Victoria Cross, credited with 72 victories, Billy Bishop is a genuine national hero. It's been 30 years since Persephone Theatre last presented the award winning Billy Bishop Goes to War. Now the next generation of actors Ryan Beil and Zachary Gray (reprising his father's role), will bring this funny and moving story to life for new generations.

Mar 25 to Apr 4 The Drowning Girls presented by Bent Out of Shape Productions (Deep End Series)
Persephone Theatre, River Landing
Bessie, married 2 years drowned in bath, Alice married six weeks drowned in bath, Margaret married one day drowned in bath. George Joseph Smith "the brides in the bath murderer" was brought to justice by Scotland Yard in 1915, but how does a man convince three women to take out life insurance policies and marry him within days of meeting him? The three breathless brides surface from bathtubs full of water to gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous, husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. The Drowning Girls swept Calgary's Betty Mitchell Awards, winning four awards, including best production.

Mar 26 to Apr 3 Peer Gynt presented by Greystone Theatre
Emrys Jones Studio Theatre -- John Mitchell Building (U of S campus) @ 8:00pm (no shows on Sundays)
“May, be thyself.” This stern admonition resounds powerfully in the plot of Peer Gynt, Ibsen’s sprawling verse epic that ranges wildly across realms rustic, exotic and fantastic. It’s a credo that the drama’s title character, a bumpkin who embarks on a series of adventures in the mundane and the metaphysical, ultimately fails to live by. He realizes too late nobody can exist alone. Peer Gynt represented, as Ibsen wrote, “a process of spiritual liberation and catharsis” for the title character as well as for the playwright. Though Ibsen himself regarded it as his play least likely to be understood outside of his country, it has become one of his most universal works. Written by Henrik Ibsen and Directed by James Guedo.
