Emerging actors get chance at stardom at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan

A new donation will give six students and graduates at the University of Saskatchewan a chance to participate in this year's Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan productions.

A partnership between the U of S Drama Department, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and the Heather and David Foundation will involve six students, in everything from wardrobe to fight choreography to acting.

The program will be in place for the next three years.

The festival will be running A Midsummer Night's Dream and J. Caesar this year. The festival runs from July 6 to Aug. 21.
