May 22, 2025 - June 1, 2025 at Studio 914

Three basic cousins attend the 70th Annual Powwow, but everything has changed. The powwow committee has sold out to a controlling corporation known as "The Watcher"; undoing all policy and rewriting all rules. For the first time in history, the powwow has become a competition bringing forth the cousins' nemesis and keeping the cousins and the emcee gripping with their own internal conflict and a fight to save the powwow.

Playwright April Rogers is an alumni of GTNT’s Circle of Voices program and Powwow is their first produced work as a playwright. Powwow was commissioned by GTNT through the New Voices program - a GTNT initiative to cultivate the next generation of storytellers. New Voices is a paid, six month residency program focused on developing new Indigenous writers.

Student Matinees: May 23rd, 27th, & 28th @ 1:00 pm. Please e-mail pr@gtnt.ca to book! Suitable for students ages 12+.

Powwow runs approx. 75 minutes with no intermission, and is held at Studio 914 (914 20th Street W., Saskatoon).
