Wide Open Theatrical Escapades is dedicated to performing entertaining shows for families. Created, written and performed in Saskatchewan for Saskatchewan people. We've entertained for countless thousands across Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. We are processional actors dedicated to the craft of entertaining with an educational tilt. All of the puppets we perform with are designed and built by the company.

We perform just about everywhere - schools, preschools, daycares, birthday parties,community events, company functions, and we do puppet workshops for for all ages. We also put on our own season of family entertainment that takes place in Saskatoon at the Refinery Arts and Spirit Centre..

We are:
