The Frank & Ellen Remai Arts Centre is a cool place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It's located in the River Landing area, right by the river. This centre is a special building where you can watch live shows like plays, music, and dance. It's the main home for the Persephone Theatre, a group that puts on amazing plays for everyone to enjoy.

About the Remai Arts Centre

The Frank & Ellen Remai Arts Centre first opened its doors in 2007. It cost about $11 million Canadian dollars to build this fantastic place. The centre has two main stages where performances happen. The biggest stage can hold up to 450 people, which is like a whole school assembly! There's also a smaller stage that can seat about 100 people, perfect for more intimate shows.

What You Can See There

The Persephone Theatre uses the centre to create and perform many different plays throughout the year. They have workshops and other spaces inside the building. These areas help actors practice and build the sets and costumes you see on stage. It's a busy place where creativity comes to life!

Connected to Art

Right next to the Remai Arts Centre, you'll find the Remai Modern art gallery. These two buildings are connected, making it easy to visit both. They even share an underground parking garage. This means you can enjoy a play and then explore some incredible art all in one trip!
