Our Story

Live Five is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a home for local professional theatre artists to develop their careers in Saskatchewan.

Since 2004, Live Five has been raising awareness of independent theatre productions and local professional artists in Saskatoon by combining multiple artistic visions from five local theatre companies into one powerful season. Run by an energetic board of directors, we do not produce the work, but rather invite artists to showcase their talent to our community while alleviating some of the stresses of producing, so they can remain focused on creating powerful pieces of theatre.

Our organization receives no operational funding of any kind. We survive on the sweat and dedication of our working board, and the generous support of Saskatoon's most wonderful, community-minded small business owners.

Both within our season and with external programming, Live Five strives to:

• present a series of high-caliber productions that attract and excite an audience,

• provide a support structure for artists to create their own work opportunities,

• encourage collaboration between established and emerging artists, and

• promote an environment of engagement and exploration between artists and audiences.
