Curtain Razors nurtures, develops, and presents original Saskatchewan-based work that pushes the boundaries of theatre while treating artists and audiences as co-creators of live performance. Committed to creative self-determination, the company supports local interdisciplinary artists in building meaningful, sustainable artistic practices and exploring new ways of creating and defining theatrical experiences.
The organization supports projects at every stage of development—from conception and exploration to incubation and production—and works to create the conditions independent artists need to thrive. By investing in artists and new work, Curtain Razors contributes to a vibrant and evolving creative landscape in Saskatchewan.
