The Last Sunday happens live every last Sunday of every month from October to May at the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon, SK on Treaty 6 Land and the Homeland of the Metis. This year we are also streaming the event live for people to watch from the comfort of their own homes. If you are interested in watching it live, check out our website for details. This podcast is a recording of those evenings. The Last Sunday asks artists to create in different forms of media their responses to the month’s current events. You will hear work from playwrights, musicians, ranters, and a hot seat interview. There is a lot going on in the world and the Last Sunday is here to help us digest our current moment. We hope these performances and the discussions they generate will help build a better community.
