BURNING SUN IS AN INDEPENDENT SASKATCHEWAN PRODUCER OF THEATRE, FILM, CONCERTS AND RECORDINGS.
Since incorporating in 1991 in Regina, this small professional theatre company has produced an impressive variety of artistic performance, much of it touring beyond Saskatchewan.
Burning Sun continues to develop entertaining Saskatchewan shows – dramas, musicals and “horse operas” -- as demand grows for such “local” cultural production. We also want to explore the limits of touring theatre, in the tradition of B.C.’s Caravan Theatre and the Chatuauqua tent shows. Our interest is in fresh and barbeque-flavoured family entertainment, featuring the history and art of Saskatchewan: cowboy mythology, first nations culture, a contemporary “wild west” show staged in parks, corrals, arbours, community halls, and prairie hilltops – but as much as possible in the old Chatauqua tradition – outdoors and live, with livestock where possible.
