Saskatoon Indigenous theatre company goes online with Christmas production
A Saskatoon Indigenous theatre’s Christmas production premiered Wednesday night not on stage but in a virtual format.
Leave it to Weavers is being put on by the Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre.
Jennifer Dawn Bishop is the theatre’s artistic director.
She said normally a production like this one would be touring through northern communities during the Yuletide season but the COVID-19 pandemic means this is not an option this year.
“Just for the safety, we know that a lot of communities would be hesitant to bring folks and us in for the health and safety of everyone,” she said. “So, we wanted to make sure that we can deliver the show, however way we can, and this way it also gets out to a wider audience and for free.”
