Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre

Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre (formerly the Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company) is a 20+ year old award-winning, and Indigenous-led theatre company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is our mission to produce and present innovative cultural theatre that engages and empowers Indigenous youth, artists, and the greater Saskatchewan community.

In addition to our professional theatre season, we invest in our city's Indigenous youth through various theatre programs:

Our Circle of Voices program engages 10-15 youth each year, imbuing them with the skills they need to emerge as theatre artists. The program also works with cultural advisors and elders in the community to pass along traditional knowledge so that participants gain a culturally grounded understanding of Indigenous culture on the prairies. 

The New Voices Playwrighting Residency develops the skills of 5-7 emerging playwrights and inspires the next generation of Indigenous storytellers to have their voice heard.
