Saskatoon’s Broadway Theatre offers range of events in lead-up to anniversary

The Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon has been around since the 1940s, but the non-profit organization is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

“Since that time it has taken many shapes and forms, and in 1993 we incorporated as a non-profit, as being 100 per cent community owned and operated, and this October is our 30th anniversary,” said Lenore Maier, executive director.
