2014 | 2015 CHAIR REPORT
T
he 2014-2015 year was another great
success for Globe Theatre. We mounted
the largest season in the organization’s
history and the theatre took significant steps
forward on the redevelopment strategy for
the Prince Edward Building.
The six-play main stage season culminated
in an outstanding production of Mary Poppins.
With more than 200 costumes, a cast
of 18 and a production budget of $550,000
it was the largest show ever produced
on our stage. A provincial tour of A Closer
Walk with Patsy Cline—the theatre’s first
Saskatchewan tour in decades—was
enormously successful and the Shumiatcher
Sandbox Series showcased exceptional work
by Saskatchewan artists.
When box office revenues were down
at the start of the 2014-2015 season,
the Board of Directors and senior
management took steps to address the
shortfall. We moved ahead with preparations
for our 2015-2016 provincial tour of
Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash
by programming an inaugural two-week run
of the production at the Casino Regina Show
Lounge in June of 2015. With the tremendous
support of the Saskatchewan Arts Board and
Casino Regina we were able to generate
significant box office revenues from Ring of
Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash during the
2014-2015 season and have the production
“tour ready” for the start of the 2015-2016
season. We are proud of Globe Theatre’s
capacity to be courageous and nimble in
responding to challenges as they arise.
The Board of Directors and management
made significant progress on the
redevelopment of the Prince Edward
Building. With construction scheduled to
begin in the spring of 2017, members of
02
the board have had regular meetings with
representatives from the three levels of
government to apprise them of our plans
and to solicit their support going forward.
We engaged the Offord Group to carry out
a Capital Campaign Feasibility Study; the
results were that the theatre has the ability
to raise funds privately to the extent required
for the redevelopment. Working with P3
Architecture, we completed a development
plan and the theatre awarded the contract for
construction management services to Ledcor
following a rigorous evaluation of submissions
solicited through a formal Request for
Proposal process. Recently, Nora Yeates from
DCG Philanthropic Services was contracted
as our capital campaign consultant.
Another major focus for the Board of Directors
and staff was the completion of the 20152018 Strategic Plan. With the vision of being
“art driven; audience focused” the plan strikes
a balance between fulfilling Globe Theatre’s
mission and maintaining financial stability
through the upcoming redevelopment of
the Prince Edward Building. The strategic
priorities are to deliver on our artistic
mission and retain our audiences during
the renovations, maintain a strong financial
foundation, create and preserve an internal
culture of engagement and innovation, and
build a broad base of stakeholder support
through increased patron loyalty and a
stronger base of donors.
Our thanks to the Globe Theatre patrons,
volunteers, community, partners, sponsors,
and donors; without your support, our
mission would not be achievable. THANK YOU.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Oct 1–19, 2014
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Marti Maraden

2014 | 2015 ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & CEO REPORT
T
he 2014-2015 season began with a
provincial tour of A Closer Walk with
Patsy Cline in August and September.
The production played to 93% of capacity
during its two-week run at Persephone
Theatre in Saskatoon and then played to
sold-out or almost sold-out houses in Moose
Jaw, Swift Current, Shaunavon, Yorkton,
North Battleford, and Lloydminster. Globe
Theatre’s first provincial tour in decades was
made possible with the generous support of
the Saskatchewan Arts Board’s Culture on
the Go program.
Graduates of the 2014 Actor Conservatory
Training Program were featured in our
first main stage production of the season,
Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.
Working alongside veteran Canadian actors
and with the direction of Marti Maraden,
the ten graduates made an outstanding
contribution to the success of the production.
Our holiday production of You’re a Good
Man, Charlie Brown directed by Max Reimer
was beautifully executed but the show did
not have the clear narrative and spectacular
designs that our audiences have come to
expect from Globe Theatre’s Christmas
show. Lesson learned.
The premiere of Rod Hayward’s Living in
04
the Spaces featured the acting skills and
musical virtuosity of actors Britta Johnson
and Nathan Pylypuk. Director Andrew North
as well as set and costume designer Scott
Penner created a lovely production that told
the story of a unique friendship between a
piano teacher and his student.
Globe Theatre’s production of The Drowning
Girls was one of the most beautiful
productions ever featured on our main stage.
Directed by Kelli Fox with set and costume
designs by Scott Penner, The Drowning
Girls showcased three gifted Saskatchewan
actors—Jonelle Gunderson, Jenna-Lee
Hyde and Judy Wensel—as the “Brides in
the Baths”.
Gunmetal Blues featured outstanding
performances from Kevin Aichele, Steven
Greenfield and Cailyn Stadnyk as well
as direction from Max Reimer and a set
designed by Kelsey Elvin—who is also Globe
Theatre’s Technical Director.
The final production in our 2014-2015 main
stage season was Disney’s Mary Poppins.
We were blessed to have a cast of amazingly
talented actor/singer/dancers to bring
the show to life including four gifted kids
who alternated in the roles of Jane and
Michael Banks.

THE DROWNING GIRLS
Mar 4–22, 2015
By Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson, Daniela Vlaskalic
Directed by Kelli Fox
The 2014-2015 Shumiatcher Sandbox
Series included four productions: Salt
Baby by Six Nations playwright Falen
Johnson, Rael’s Journey that was cocreated by Andrew North and Johanna
Bundon, our annual Fusion Project, and
A Date with the Night by Lucy Hill, Daniel
Maslany and Eric Rose.
Director Yvette Nolan’s production of Salt
Baby featured 2012 Actor Conservatory
graduates Dakota Hebert and Nathan
Howe, Curtis Peeteetuce who is the
Artistic Director of the Saskatchewan
Native Theatre, and Colin Dingwall.
This bitter sweet drama about a young
woman caught between two cultures and
struggling with her own identity featured
outstanding designs by members of
the Globe production staff: the set was
co-designed by Norm Daschle and
Johanna de Vries, the costumes were
designed by Charity Gadica, and Devon
Bonneau designed the lighting and sound.
Globe Theatre’s production of Salt
Baby was showcased at the 2015
Talking Stick Festival in Vancouver.
Inspired by the music of Peter Gabriel and
told through modern dance Rael’s Journey
was a powerful and evocative piece
co-created by director Andrew North and
06

choreographer Johanna Bundon. Rael’s
Journey featured three principal dancers
and a chorus of ten dancers from the
Youth Ballet of Saskatchewan.
Globe Theatre’s 2015 Fusion Project
brought together an ensemble of seven
emerging artists to work with professional
director and writer Greg Ochitwa to create
an original performance piece. The result
was a quirky, fascinating production set in
a strange, somewhat threatening hotel.
Norm Daschle designed a magical set for
the production.
Writer and actor Lucy Hill teamed up with
sound and video designer Daniel Maslany
and director Eric Rose to create an
extraordinary production, A Date with the
Night. Performed without dialogue, A Date
with the Night tells the story of a young
woman who is seduced by the world of
her dreams. The performance ensemble
included Lucy Hill as Elizabeth, Johanna
Bundon, Mike Gill and Alex Hartshorn.
With the generous support of the
Saskatchewan Arts Board’s Culture on the
Go program we produced a two-week run
of Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash
at the Casino Regina Show Lounge in
June in preparation for a provincial tour

closed the production on June 12 we had
sold 7,300 tickets or 90% of the available
seats at the Show Lounge. Many thanks
to Casino Regina and the Show Lounge
staff for welcoming us so warmly into
your venue.
The 2014-2015 season was the most
ambitious season in the theatre’s history.
We employed 104 actors over the course
of the season; 63 of those actors are from
Saskatchewan. In total more than 80,000
people attended our performances on the
main stage, second stage, at the Casino
Regina Show Lounge and on tour.

this organization. Thank you so much for
your support and your commitment to
Globe Theatre.
This season we said goodbye to Andrew
North who has been with Globe Theatre for
more than thirteen years. During his tenure
at the theatre Andrew wore many hats:
Production Manager, Planning Manager,
Executive Director and Artistic Associate.
His contributions to Globe Theatre over
the years have been outstanding. You will
be missed, Andrew.
Ruth Smillie
Artistic Director & CEO
The entire Globe Theatre team and
scores of part-time and casual staff
pulled together to make this huge
season the success that it was.
My heartfelt thanks to all of our staff
members, freelance artists and artisans
as well as our intrepid volunteers whose
hard-work, creativity and artistry delivered
on the promise that “Anything can happen
if you let it”.

REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PRINCE EDWARD BUILDING
building in order to better meet the needs
of Regina theatre audiences as well as the
wider community.
T
he Prince Edward Building was
built between 1906 and 1909 as
Regina’s Post Office. Over its 109
year history, the building functioned as
the offices of the provincial government
prior to the completion of the Legislative
Building, a federal tax office, Regina City
Hall and the headquarters of the R.C.M.P.
Regina District. The building was one of
the first in Regina to be designated as a
Municipal Heritage Property.
In 1980, Globe Theatre became the tenants
of the second and third floors. In 2005, as the
theatre’s engagement with the community
and the popularity of its programming grew,
more space was needed for rehearsals,
theatre school classes, and administration.
The fourth floor was leased as part of a
major renovation and expansion.
In the spring of 2013 the owners of the
Prince Edward Building put the building up
for sale. In consultation with our advisory
group, representatives of the City of
Regina and with the approval of the Globe
Theatre Board of Directors, the decision
was made to purchase the building
enabling Globe Theatre to secure its
future as well as to protect and refurbish
a significant heritage building in Regina’s
downtown. Our goal is to redevelop the
10
Right: Photo by Danielle Tocker
Our plan is to start construction in the
spring of 2017. The renovations will take 18
months to two years to complete. While
construction is underway, Globe Theatre
will relocate to temporary premises.
During the 2014-2015 season we completed
a development plan for the refurbishment
of the Prince Edward Building and engaged
P3 Architecture as our lead architect. We
continue to explore a number of options
for a temporary home for the two years
(2017-2019) that we will have to relocate
while construction on the Prince Edward
Building is underway. We awarded the
construction management services contract
to Ledcor Group and we contracted Nora
Yeates from DCG Philanthropic Services to
manage our capital campaign which will get
underway early in 2016.
The redevelopment of the Prince Edward
Building will completely restore and
upgrade one of Regina’s most valuable
and beloved heritage buildings. It will also
create a state-of-the-art performance facility
that will meet the needs of patrons, artists,
employees, and other Regina performing
arts organizations. The multi-million dollar
renovation of the Prince Edward Building
will enhance the revitalization of the City
Square district and the Frederick W. Hill
Mall in the heart of downtown Regina.

2014 | 2015 THEATRE SCHOOL
T
hrough year-round classes, community
workshops, and outreach projects,
the Globe Theatre School brought
theatre-based programming to nearly 1,000
people across Saskatchewan during the
2014-2015 season.
The 2014 Summer Laboratory was a great
success, with a total of 111 students ages
5-18 participating in our one- and twoweek creation camps, culminating with
performances on the Globe Main Stage.
Our fall and winter programming for
children, teens and adults continued to
grow this year with a total of 350 students.
We launched successful new classes
including Musical Theatre Workshop
and Teen and Youth Playwriting. Our
two advanced 20-week theatre creation
classes for teens, Evolution I and II,
performed for over 100 people at the
Artesian in March. The 2015 Fusion
Project, a rigorous three month training
and creation process for young artists
ages 16-19, was directed by the multitalented Greg Ochitwa. Seven talented
emerging artists participated in the
production which was presented as part
of the Shumiatcher Sandbox Series. The
Globe Theatre Youth Company launched
this year, comprised of eight young
people who show a passion and vocation
12
for theatre creation. Under the direction
of Judy Wensel, the Youth Company
created and performed their original work
In Situ at the downtown branch of the
Regina Public Library in December and
also performed in The Moveable Feast, a
large-scale community project produced
by Curtain Razors Theatre that was
presented as part of the Cathedral Village
Arts Festival.
Our provincial outreach program, GlobeOn-The-Road, expanded this year to include
two intensive, long-term projects in two
communities. Theatre School instructor
Greg Ochitwa worked with 30 students
at Maverick School in Swift Current over
a two-month period. In partnership with
Centre 48 in Montmartre, youth from Indian
Head and surrounding areas participated in
a four-month creation process also led by
Greg Ochitwa. This process culminated in
a presentation of an original show called
Our Town, to an audience of nearly 200
at the Grand Theatre in Indian Head. We
also brought creative drama workshops to
primary school children in Pilot Butte.

The Theatre School continued its mandate
to increase accessibility by bringing arts
education to children who experience
social and financial barriers. The Enbridge
Educational Outreach Program, in partnership
with the Regina Public School Board and
with funding assistance from SaskCulture’s
Multicultural Initiative and from the
Community Initiatives Fund, reached over
300 students this year. The program brought
over 100 workshops into 11 classrooms in
Regina Community Schools as well as two
days of workshops with students at Asiniwkisik Education Campus at Kawacatoose
First Nation. Artist educators worked with
students to promote dialogue and multicultural collaboration; students learned how
to work together, embrace differences and
take risks in a safe and creative environment.
After receiving a grant from the Community
Initiatives Fund, Globe Theatre School
partnered with the Autism Resource Centre
to move forward with an Improvisation for
Autism Spectrum Disorder Pilot Project.
The project will consider how theatrebased improvisation techniques can assist
and support adults and young people with
ASD. Local improv artist and educator,
Cameron Chomyn is the project’s head
facilitator and has completed Phase One
of the program’s development. The official
program will be introduced in 2015-2016.
All of the instructors at the Globe Theatre
School are professional theatre, dance, and
visual artists who maintain strong artistic
careers while sharing a commitment
to arts education. This season we saw
many of our instructors working on both
Globe Theatre stages, developing and
premiering new work, and performing at
theatres and festivals across Canada. The
energy and commitment that the artisteducators bring to the Theatre School
programming is inspired by their own
professional artistic practices, providing
the foundation of the Globe Theatre
School’s vision to foster the growth of the
next generation of Saskatchewan artists.

2014 GLOBE THEATRE CONSERVATORY
ACTOR TRAINING PROGRAM
T
he Globe Theatre Conservatory began
in 2008 with the goal of providing
rigorous professional training in classical
and contemporary theatre to emerging
Saskatchewan artists. Since 2008, forty-one
students have graduated from the
conservatory many of whom are now
working on the Globe stages and at
theatres across Canada. The sixteen-week
program (May to August) is offered every
two years at Globe Theatre; artists are
selected for the conservatory through
an audition process. Graduates of the
2014 conservatory were showcased in
Globe Theatre’s Main Stage production of
Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing,
directed by Marti Maraden.
The instructors and directors for the
2014 conservatory are all leading
Canadian theatre professionals.

Theatre
faced
some
significant challenges at the start
of the season: subscription sales
were tracking below revenue targets
and single ticket sales were not meeting
expectations. As close to seventy percent
of Globe Theatre’s operating budget is
derived from box office revenues, this
was cause for concern. In consultation
with the Board of Directors, senior
management moved ahead with two
initiatives to increase subscription sales
and generate additional single ticket
revenues while controlling expenses.
because the theatre increased the total
number of performances in the season
including Ring of Fire and Mary Poppins.
Single ticket revenues were up by 47%.
Public sector revenue increased over the
2013-2014 season with the support of the
Saskatchewan Arts Board for the touring
of both A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline and
Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash.
Private sector revenues decreased by
16% directly related to one time services
that were provided free of charge last year
to complete the acquisition of the Prince
Edward Building.
Passion Arts was contracted to run a
three month subscription telemarketing
campaign. The campaign exceeded
expectations selling more than 700
subscription packages. Working with
Passion Arts provided senior management
with
some
new
strategies
for
subscription sales and acquisitions
that are being implemented during the
2015-2016 season.
Overall, total expenses increased by 26%.
This was mostly due to a 44% increase
in artistic expenses which are directly
related to cast sizes, scale of productions,
the addition of a seventh production and
the overall number of performances.
Facilities expenses saw a 17% increase
while marketing expenses, which is
correlated to the number of productions
and performances, actually had a
slight decrease. Administration expenses
increased by 5% year over year due to a
2% cost of living increase for staff and
increased credit card fees associated with
the increase in box office revenue.
In partnership with the Saskatchewan
Arts Board and Casino Regina the theatre
scheduled a run of Ring of Fire: The Music
of Johnny Cash from June 1 to 12 in the
Show Lounge. The production was a
tremendous success with more than
7,300 tickets sold for the two week run.
With the support of a Culture on the Go
grant from the Saskatchewan Arts Board,
Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash
will be touring the province during the
2015-2016 season.
The Ring of Fire revenues as well as a
three week extension of the run of Mary
Poppins allowed Globe Theatre to end the
year with a surplus of $112,991. Year over
year, total revenues for the 2014-2015
season increased by $978,408 primarily

This was also the first full year of
owning the Prince Edward Building. The
ownership of the building has no impact
on the theatre’s operating budget as
revenues generated from the facility
are sufficient to cover the building
expenses including all debt servicing.
Congratulations to management and
thank you to the patrons and supporters
of Globe Theatre Society for another
excellent season.
