As the King's food tester you always knew you could die at any moment. What you weren't expecting was for the King to drop dead and you still be breathing. Apparently you're immortal, and the court is not too pleased. #writingpromptwednesday Photo by Hugo L. Casanova on Unsplash

Sneak peek week, day 3! Sanitization is will be of utmost importance if the in-person festival comes to pass. We have reviewed every session and the government restrictions to come-up with a sanitization plan to ensure the safety of the patrons attending. Depending on the ever-changing restrictions, the current sanitization plan may or may not change but know that we will always put the safety of those attending first. Capacities: at all venues are dependent on if people a...re coming with others from their bubbles or solo. If the majority of people are coming solo then due to the proper spacing guidelines the capacities will be very limited. All seating will be assigned and you must pre-register to secure your seat. Tickets and passes: There will not be walk-in/general seating tickets available. There will also be a limited number of passes available for purchase to allow equal opportunity for all pass holders to participate in the sessions. The number available will depend on government restrictions at the time so it will be determined closer to the festival date. If you have any comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us via email: [email protected] or via phone: 306-691-0557. Stay tuned for more info!

Sneak peek week, day 2! We are tentatively planning on hosting our in-person festival in three main venues: the Crescent Park Amphitheatre, the Mae Wilson Theatre, and the Library Art Museum Theatre. These venues were carefully chosen because they have the largest capacities while still being safely spaced. Each venue will be fully sanitized after each event. All sessions are limited to 1 hour so there is no need for an intermission for people to get up and move around unnec...essarily. If you have any comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us via email: [email protected] or via phone: 306-691-0557. Stay tuned for more info!

Welcome to our sneak peek week! This week we are going to be posting infographics about our tentative plans for an in-person, socially distanced, festival for the 25th Anniversary coming up in July 2021. Each day at 10:00 AM CT we will post an infographic on the different venues we plan to use, the sessions that will be held there, the capacities and tickets available, the safety/sanitization measures we will be enforcing, and most importantly we want YOUR Feedback. On Friday... we will post a link to a survey for those who are interested or concerned to fill out so we can be sure that we have covered all of our bases. The safety of our employees, volunteers, presenters, and attendees is of utmost importance and we will not hesitate to transition online if we feel there is too much of a risk to proceed in-person. All these plans are just tentative. If you have any comments or concerns right away, please, don't hesitate to contact us via email: [email protected] or via phone: 306-691-0557. Stay tuned for more info!
