Reliance on public funding is shrinking, and even when our box office is extremely successful, it can only bring in between 50-65% of the revenues required to operate an accessible and affordable professional summer theatre festival. We must therefore rely on private contributions from people who value such a theatre.

Any donation is greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged with a tax receipt and inclusion in our program and on our website, if desired.

By donating to Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, you are contributing not only to the success of our company, but also to the continuation of the Arts in Saskatoon.

Please complete and return the attached donation form.

Incorporated in 1985, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Festival Inc. provides unique interpretations of the works of Shakespeare and others in our tents on the river bank of the South Saskatchewan River. We also operate Sir Toby’s Tavern and the Billy Tent Community Stage as well as hosting a number of special events and fundraisers including the Bard’s Birthday Bash and Medieval Feasts.

For all of our years, volunteers have been essential to the success of the Festival. We know that our veteran volunteers take pride in being a part of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and we hope that our new volunteers will feel the same. By volunteering with this company, you are contributing not only to the success of our company, but also to the continuation of the Arts in Saskatoon.
