About the Producing Company

Burnt Thicket Theatre has been producing theatre across Canada since beginning as an artist collective in 2007, and our company has called Saskatoon our home since 2017. We are both fans and friends of Live Five, and have had the pleasure of working with Live Five in 2018 with our production of Every Brilliant Thing, and in 2025 with The Unplugging. We’ve produced numerous shows independently in Saskatoon including My Little Plastic Jesus, Evergreen, Delft Blue and have partnered with organizations like Persephone Theatre and GTNT to bring New Blood to Saskatoon in 2023. We received the 2024 Leading Together Award from the Office of the Treaty Commissioner and Multicultural Council of SK to recognize our fiction podcast We Treaty People (created by over 45 local theatre artists during the pandemic) as a work with long-term impact towards reconciliation.

We create theatre productions that offer audiences a work of art and a visceral immersion in another human being’s lived experience. That “walking in someone else’s shoes” is part of theatre’s power. When rendered with artistic integrity, theatre connects people to one another at a heart or gut level that transcends intellectual or aesthetic appreciation. Our productions are usually inspired by actual events and all invite audiences and artists to reflect on their own lives, longings, and choices.
