(Persephone Theatre is a) poster child for investment in the arts. — Del Surjik

T H E AT R E R E N A I S S A N C E

Surjik building a stronger scene in Saskatoon

Del Surjik, artistic director at Persephone Theatre, on the set of Hedda Gabler, the theatre’s newest play running until Oct. 5, 2014.

By Ashleigh Mattern For most people, live theatre has no connection whatsoever with sports, but Del Surjik is not most people.

Persephone Theatre’s artistic director used to compete internationally in Ultimate, and he still plays recreationally today, saying the sport helps

him find balance as an artist.

Surjik says actors prepare themselves like athletes for the rigours of performing on stage, and there’s an art to athletes’ performances on the field. Both theatre and sports require you test yourself and push yourself to your limits in a team context. Even his work as an artistic director has

parallels: He plans seasons, and puts together teams of actors.

“And it’s kind of like the CFL with the import and non-import,” Surjik said. “I have local talent; talent I bring in; I draft the new up and comers.”

He says planning a season is the most complex thing he does. Relying on 30 years of experience in the the-

atre world, and his own knowledge of literally thousands of plays, he puts together an annual program that he describes as a conversation with the audience.

“It’s a long range conversation that you do through the programming choices, and the people you put together,” he said.

While Surjik doesn’t steer the conversation in a particular direction (“Because then you’re not listening,” he says), there are side discussions, such as the triptych of plays that started with Waiting for Godot, was followed years later by The Caretaker, and will be wrapped up with a third play he’s not yet ready to reveal.

There can also be hidden conversations that even he only recognizes later.

“Honestly, some of this has to come from my unconscious mind, which knows way more than the rest of me does. And that’s where the alchemy comes in, the magic.”

The main stage shows for the 201415 season include Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen (which runs until Oct. 5); The Highest Step in the World by David van Belle and Eric Rose; a musical adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life; Mary’s Wedding by Stephen Massicotte; Vigil by Morris Panych; and the musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

A HOMECOMING Hedda Gabler is directed by one of Persephone’s founders, Janet Wright.

In 1974, Wright, her sister Susan Wright, and Janet’s ex-husband Brian Richmond started the company, choos-

ing the goddess of fertility and the fruitful earth as its namesake.

Today, the theatre is thriving, a “poster child for investment in the arts” by Surjik’s estimation, but prospects weren’t always so cheery. In the first eight years, the theatre had six different artistic directors. They bounced around from building to building, unable to find a permanent home.

The StarPhoenix arts and life editor Cam Fuller has been covering theatre in the city since 1991, and he says that at one point, the theatre was so deeply in debt, that it looked like Persephone might be within one play of shutting down.

But Persephone pulled through, thanks to the dedication of board members, as well as to the enthusiasm of artistic director Tibor Feheregyhazi, who spent 25 years steering the theatre, from 1982 until his death in 2007.

Regional theatres are necessary in terms of creating both a role model of what works in terms of standards, and a chafing block which to resist. — Bob Allen

Kevin Kruchkywich and Kate Herriot star in Hedda Gabler. According to Cam Fuller, “the genius in Henrik Ibsen’s writing lies in the clues he slips into the equation.” BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG

“It would never have happened without Tibor, that crazy passion that he had,” Janet Wright recently told The StarPhoenix. “I’m just sad he never saw (the new building) because he put everything into it.”

For 20 years, Persephone made its home at the Westgate Alliance Church, with Feheregyhazi spearheading the move to its current location at the Frank and Ellen Remai

Arts Centre in River Landing.

Fuller says the quality of Persephone’s performances has always been high, but it’s come a long way as a venue.

“There’s the theatre as an artistic entity that puts on plays, and there’s the theatre as an experience, and it’s undergone quite a transformation from what it was when it was in a west side church,” said Fuller. “It had a real

underdog feel when you went there. It was the equivalent of a grungy basement apartment that you still love.”

In the early days, the Wrights and Richmond had their hands on every aspect of the theatre, including doing the lighting and taking the tickets.

But Janet Wright — who some might recognize as Emma from Corner Gas — told The StarPhoenix she doesn’t think of it as “my theatre” or “our

theatre.”

“We weren’t there that long,” she said. “We certainly made it happen but other people made it thrive.”

FORTY YEARS IN THE MAKING This year marks Persephone Theatre’s 40th anniversary. Today, it’s the largest theatre in Saskatchewan, and one of the largest in Canada.

Bob Allen, theatre officer at the

Canada Council for the Arts, says regional theatres like Persephone play an important role in their cities. “(Regional theatres) become the fulcrum around which other things develop,” said Allen. “Regional theatres are necessary in terms of creating both a role model of what works in terms of standards, and a chafing block which to resist.”

I interview a lot of actors there, and they all, if they haven’t worked there before, they all say they’ve always wanted to work there. So I think their reputation is already established. — Fuller

Allen has been involved in the Canadian theatre industry in various roles for over 50 years, and he says Persephone has a strong reputation across the country, both in terms of developing work and staging productions.

But the theatre’s true importance comes in its commitment to the local community.

“The thing about Del is that he understands totally that the vibrancy of the artistic scene is not just the one company’s health, but a community of players. So it has actually been a fairly happy story.”

Since moving to its new location, Persephone’s programming has expanded to include an acting school, a children’s theatre wing, and a series of alternative, edgier shows on their second stage. Fuller points out that all of these initiatives have created more work for people in the industry.

Where does a successful theatre company like Persephone go from here? Fuller says Feheregyhazi was adamant that the theatre not get too big, so that the shows always have a sense of intimacy. So while the theatre likely won’t grow in size, Surjik hopes it will grow in prestige.

“If you’re a Canadian theatre artist, I want you to look at your resume, and if you don’t see Persephone Theatre on it, you see something lacking, because you haven’t been here to do some of the great work we’re doing,” said Surjik. “That’s the someday, I guess.”

But Fuller thinks Surjik’s “someday” may already be here: “I think they’re there now, because I interview a lot of actors there, and they all, if they haven’t worked there before, they all say they’ve always wanted to work there,” Fuller said.

“So I think their reputation is already established.”

DEL SURJIK’S FAVOURITE PLAYS When asked what his favourite Persephone Theatre plays were, artistic director Del Surjik said, “there are far too many favourites.” But of the ones he’s worked on, a few stood out in his memory: ■ “Working with Henry Woolf and the gang on Waiting for Godot (by Samuel Beckett) and The Caretaker (by Harold Pinter).”

■ “The world premieres of the brilliant Saskatchewan writing (in) Kenneth T. Wil-

liams’ Gordon Winter (Gordon Tootoosis’ last performance), and Daniel Macdonald’s A History of Breathing.”

■ “The Canadian premiere of Equivocation (by Bill Cain).”

■ “The show that brought me back to Saskatchewan and to the attention of Tibor Feheregyhazi, James O’Shea’s hysterical comedy Dogbarked — just so people are reminded that I do comedy, too!”

ASK ELLIE

Open relationships may work for some, but hurt others Q. I’m female, 27, and have been in an open relationship with my main partner for four years.

During two years of that time, I’ve also been seeing a married man for a strictly sexual relationship of which my main partner is totally aware and participates in it.

I have no desire for the married man to leave his wife. I don’t want anything from him other than what he’s already doing, and don’t plan to change the arrangement anytime soon.

While I admit it’s possible for someone to get hurt, it’s most certainly not going to be me.

I have a few friends who know about my situation. While they’re all monogamous, they enjoy asking me questions and getting tidbits of racy details about my alternative lifestyle.

Not A Problem A. Great, it’s no problem for you and your “Mr. Main,” nor your titillated friends. No one knows of course whether it’s a problem for Mr. Married’s wife (unless she participates too but you forgot to mention it).

The good news is that you won’t get hurt.

So you didn’t ask for advice and I won’t give any to you.

To everyone else: Open relationships work for those who are open and eager for a racy lifestyle. However, they rarely worry about collateral damage to others connected to them or their participants. So, for those who aren’t that “open,” choose a partner who isn’t either.

Q. My husband has a very good 15-year friendship with a nice, kind, co-worker. We invite him and his family over yearly, and they’re always giving and helpful.

I recently became friends with the wife.

She’s hardworking, kind, caring, adventurous, and smart. When we meet for lunch (monthly), it’s 60 per cent fun and 40 per cent stressful.

She complains about her husband, her son, and her lack of exercise. Her husband’s 100 pounds overweight. She says he eats too much and the wrong things, he’s not romantic, nor affectionate, she has trouble talking to him and he doesn’t like her family (who live in another country).

She regrets that she married him after less than six months of dating. She spoils her kids, especially her youngest.

I like her and her family but I find her whining and complaining a pain, especially now when I’m looking for work full-time and taking care of my husband and young son.

She wants to have lunch with me again, but

I don’t know how to handle her. She’s almost 10 years older than me and never asks me for advice or suggestions. What do you advise?

Friend of a Complainer A. Turn the conversation away from its usual course. Tell her you want to draw on her longer experience, and ask for some ideas regarding your job search.

If she starts making whiny comparisons to her own life, say gently, “Hey. I need to be optimistic here; just tell me the good things I should be doing.”

When that course of chat gets tired, talk about positive things you two may have interest in… books, movies, TV shows, events happening in town. Turn some of those lunches into an occasional outing as girls’ night out to take in something you’d both enjoy (less time for her personal complaints).

If the get-togethers keep reverting back to whine sessions from her, get “busy” with your job search and hopefully with whatever work you find.

An annual or twice-yearly dinner get-together of the whole family may be the best way for this friendship to continue without offending anyone.

Q. My brother’s been a high-placed executive. But his job ended when the company was sold and new replacements were brought in.

He has investments and his wife has family money, so the issue isn’t income.

He’s saying he’s depressed, no longer “needed” anywhere, bored, and “too old” to get hired again. He’s 58. How can I help him?

Concerned Brother A. Urge him to see his doctor (in case there’s a health factor) and also deal with his depression. He’ll possibly require medication but should also get referred for therapy.

It’s a new phase and he needs help adjusting. He’s smart and experienced, which means he’d be valuable on community boards, as a mentor in his field, and as a volunteer.

He needs a place to go every day where he’ll be appreciated.

He might also enjoy enrolling in an education program he never had time to pursue previously.

GARDENING #

G A R D E N I N G I N S A S K AT C H E WA N

How did we landscape before ninebarks?

By Sara Williams Ninebarks provide landscape value over an uncommonly long season.

The shrubs’ foliage is colourful yellow or purple through summer amd intensifies in the fall. Come spring, creamy-white flowers pop up, lending to deep red seedpods in late summer.

A number of excellent hardy ninebarks cultivars (Physocarpus opulifolius) have been introduced in the last decade. One wonders how we landscaped without them.

An upright, spreading shrub of up to 2.7 m with arching branches, ninebark is found from Quebec to Virginia. The common name alludes to the cinnamon-brown exfoliating bark, which peels to reveal a number of layers (though not necessarily nine).

The genus name is from the Greek words physa, meaning bladder and karpos, fruit, a reference to the attractive, inflated red seed pods produced in late summer. The species name, opulifolius, refers to the resemblance of its leaves to those of the European cranberry (Viburnum opulus).

Golden and variegated selections: Amber Jubilee, named to honour Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Manitoba in 2010, is a cross of Diabolo and ‘Dart’s Gold.’ While the older foliage remains a lime green, the new growth produces shades of yellow and orange in summer, turning purple in fall. It reaches 1.8 m tall, with a spread of 1.2 m.

Centre Glow, a Minnesota introduction, emerges in spring with vibrant yellow-green foliage, becoming red with a glowing yellow centre (2.7 m in height and spread).

Dart’s Gold is a small, compact cultivar of 1.5 m, with a spread of 1 m. It has golden foliage.

Luteus has greenish-yellow foliage, the yellow being most pronounced in early spring. It has a height and spread of 2.4 m.

University, is compact and dense but larger (1.8 m tall, with a spread of 1.2 m). The foliage emerges yellow, becoming lime-green in summer and yellow in fall.

Purple foliage: Coppertina, another hybrid of Dart’s Gold and Diabolo, has orangecopper foliage in spring that becomes a vibrant red in fall. It reaches 2 m in height with a spread of 1.8 m.

Diabolo, from Germany, has deep purple foliage, becoming almost iri-

Summer Wine has been described as a condensed form of Diabolo with more deeply cut foliage. It emerges in spring a deep purple, becoming purple red in fall. A hybrid of Nanus and Diabolo, it has a dense, compact form of 1 m and is excellent for smaller spaces.

low foliage of the golden ninebarks is much less pronounced. They may be subject to lime-induced iron chlorosis in soils with a high pH. Place them in mixed or shrub borders or use them as foundation plantings. The yellow or purple foliage is an excellent contrast with other shrubs.

READ MY BOOK #

LOCA L AUT H ORS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

C O L I N C H AT F I E L D

If a Fish Had a Wish all about self-acceptance When I was in elementary school at St. Augustine in Saskatoon, I had problems reading.

I ended up going to the University of Saskatchewan each week in Grade 4 to get help learning to read properly. I always thought I wasn’t smart because I couldn’t read properly. It affected my school work negatively too, in that often I had to read things numerous times to understand what was being talked about.

I was also usually the smallest one in my classes, even through high school. I always had some self-esteem issues because of that. I hated being the smallest, the shortest, and so on. It took me a long time to accept being the way I was.

My first book, If a Fish Had a Wish, is about a little fish, who always wished he were something more than he is; whether stronger, bigger, taller. In the end, he accepts he is happy being the way he is. I originally wrote the

book for my daughter, Macaila, who was five at the time. From before she was two, I had read books to her. Our favourite books were Dr. Suess titles, such as One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and There’s a Wocket in my Pocket. I wrote my book in the style of Dr. Suess.

I firmly believe reading is a fundamental aspect of a person’s development and growth.

It opens up a world of knowledge and is necColin Chatfield essary to enhance any learning we do. With all three of my kids, I started reading to them prior to them turning

two. We still read together to this day. I love going through book orders and finding new books of interest to the kids.

My book is currently being self-published.

However, I have started a Kickstarter project to try to raise funds so it can be professionally published and made available at a lower price.

I would like to see as many kids as possible reading and enjoying my book. It is geared for preschool to Grade 2 kids, but older ones will understand the message. The illustrations are fantastic, and are done by Allissa Thompson, a local illustrator. She is young, but talented and this is her third book. I had my friend, Shelley May LePoudre from Saskatoon, edit it. Without those two, the book would not have been possible.

The book is available in Saskatoon at McNally Robinson, Indigo, SaskMade Marketplace, So Cute Kids Boutique (in Market Mall),

and should be on iTunes soon, and soon to be shipping from Amazon. I also hope to be able to provide some books to the school systems and libraries. I encourage people to volunteer at places such as READ Saskatoon and help open up the doors to knowledge to people with reading difficulties. The Facebook page for the book is www.facebook.com/ifafishhadawish.

Style runs in the family

By Jenn Sharp Saskatoon fashion designer Rebecca King has been in the game long enough to know how to appeal to a woman’s innermost style desires. Raising her first child, Novena Farthing (who turns two in November) has also endeared her to children’s style.

King works from an in-home studio, which, along with King’s own wicked style sense, has influenced her toddler.

Novena is especially fond of pretty footwear.

As King dresses her for the shoot, she squeals in delight at the different pieces, but when it’s all done she’s happy to take the fur vest off and play in the leaves.

She’s not dressed in head-to-toe designer though, or even brand new clothes. King adores second-hand stores and hand-me-downs from the numerous cousins.

“I don’t really have the time to go through the stores and pay that much. I fill in some key pieces that I really want her to have. I find I have a ton of clothes and she doesn’t even wear them. You really don’t need that much; just something at every age.”

King, husband Sam Farthing and Novena moved back to Saskatoon from Calgary four months ago. They had gone to Alberta while Sam was studying architecture. They always planned on returning home, despite many people telling the couple they’d fall in love with Calgary and want to make the move permanent.

“We didn’t even really consider staying. We didn’t want to set up life there.”

Thanks to a bigger market, King says her work prospered in Calgary, but she loves Saskatchewan and its burgeoning local designer scene. Plus, Saskatoon is a much nicer place to raise her daughter.

“I wanted to give her more. She needs more social interactions. We had friends there (but) … it’s really awesome to see her with her cousins.

“We like the city’s culture and our arts culture and what’s growing and to be a part of that,” she says of Saskatoon.

1. HEAD BAND: Rebecca made it. “I made little matching anklets with it too. They look like knit boots.

They’re made from a super thick wool.

I like the little pinch in the middle — it’s yarn wrapped around and sewn down. It’s super simple; it’s five or six stitches across and takes no time.

I actually only know how to knit a straight line.”

2. VEST: Old Navy; a baby gift when Novena was born.

King loves knitting but unfortunately it’s pretty hard to sell hand knit items. “The yarn is really expensive (especially) to get really nice wool,” she says.

Add that to the hours she’d spend knitting a single scarf and no one would pay the price point she’d need to charge.

But lucky Novena has an accessories box topped off with pretty pieces her mom made.

(Disclaimer: King doesn’t sell children’s clothes, only adult collections).

She made Novena’s sweater — a pint-sized version of the one she makes for adults, complete with wood buttons and oversized front pockets.

King is known for her coats, in flattering cuts and gorgeous fabric, but has moved towards sweater coats for fall 2014.

“I find that sweaters are more wearable all year round and they’re just cozier.”

To stay on trend this fall, look for heavy, textured knits with big buttons that go past the bum.

Erratic nature of pop-up dinners part of the allure

By Jenn Sharp A pop-up dinner: You don’t know where or when it’s going to be until the last minute, and that’s all part of the fun.

Katie Vinge and Ashley Schmalenberg have started a pop-up dinner club in Regina, aimed at exposing people to great food and new neighbourhoods.

The two, who have 12 years of combined experience, are both chefs at the Willow on Wascana. Schmalenberg also runs Saltine Baking and sells her artisan breads at the Regina Farmers’ Market.

“We both love working at the Willow but thought how cool it would be if we could do our style of food,” says Vinge of The Supper Society Regina.

That style is one of simplicity and quality.

Everything is made from scratch. The women make their own preserves, bread, do their own pickling and make butters (their Facebook page has delectable pictures of honey miso and local cherry and roasted beet butters).

“We like letting the ingredients speak for themselves. We use quality ingredients; it’s simple food, elevated.”

Through Schmalenberg’s connections at the market, they’re able to source abundant local products for the dinners (15 were featured at the first).

“We like knowing where our food comes from,” says Vinge.

Dinners will move to a different Regina neighbourhood each time. The first one was held for 30 in a 100-year-old church in Cathedral (they’d like to expand to up to 60 for future dinners).

“Everyone we’ve talked to about this has been really excited. It’s like people have been waiting for something like this to happen here,” says Vinge.

At the first dinner, everyone sat family-style at one long table. The first course, of the chefs’ charcuterie, pickles, cheese, preserves and bread, was meant for sharing.

“We want people to be passing food down the table… it will get people talking and people will get to know each other. Our food will be the joining factor.”

Other courses, like roasted pumpkin soup with a ginger crème fraiche and savoury granola, and braised beef and bone marrow meat pie (with a piece of bone marrow baked into the pie), were served individually.

The second course served at The SupperSociety Regina’s first pop-up dinner featured a roasted pumpkin soup. SUBMITTED PHOTO

The fourth course, their unconventional take on carrot cake, sounded the best: A cream cheese panna cotta, with brown butter caramel, roasted carrot curd, Last Mountain Distillery whiskey- poached raisins and carrot cake crumble.

“We’re trying to do food that we would like to eat ourselves,” says Vinge.

The next dinner, held closer to Christmas, will have a seasonal theme. You have to watch The Supper Society Regina’s Facebook page to find out where and when.

Regina’s Sprout Catering has also started pop-up dinners; Fall’ing for Sprout is on their social media sites now. Held Oct. 24 at 1221 Osler Street, it features a five-course meal with unlimited wine, a toonie bar and after party with entertainment by Dan Siljer, plus transportation.

Saskatoon’s Simon Reynolds has also got in on the pop-up action.

Guests are limited to 12 at the dinners he

hopes to hold monthly from where he runs his catering company and cooking classes, Simon’s Fine Foods, at 10-2605 Broadway Avenue.

Diners, who will be immersed in the cooking experience, will sit together at a table he had made just for that purpose.

“You won’t necessarily know everyone.

You’ll be enjoying the food.

“It’s different. I don’t think anyone else in town is doing this in the kitchen. You’re in the kitchen; you’re going to see and smell.”

He won’t have themes at the dinners, rather, “I’ll just (make) whatever I fancy doing. It’ll be different every time.”

Celebrate summer’s end with pink moscato

By James Romanow The mountain ash berries are red, the leaves are yellowing, and we all know what that means. On the other hand, we are having that glorious last gasp of summer that keeps us outside in our shorts admiring the stars. I don’t know about you but this is my favourite time of year. And even if it isn’t yours, you should stop a moment to stare up at that cloudless sky that goes to infinity, a blue so deep you can get lost in it.

The best way I know to make a person pause is to stick a glass of bubbly in their hands. It needn’t be a lip puckering brut natural champagne. In fact, at this time of year, as we celebrate the harvest, surely something a little sweeter would be appropriate.

Last week I was enjoying a watermelon and wondering what to have with it. I opened an Australian wine from the de Bortoli clan, a pink moscato. It turned out that this was the perfect watermelon wine, and indeed work took a back seat to a mini-party with a mini-melon. I sat on the balcony, smiled at the traffic and enjoyed both wine and melon.

How could I not? Moscato is a lovely light afternoon drink (eight per cent alcohol) with a bright fruity palate. It’s pink, effervescent, and decidedly charming. This is a wine that de-

mands you play hooky and eat watermelon.

The only thing bad I can say is it makes a lousy pre-dinner drink as any wine you drink afterwards will seem way too powerful and tart.

Emeri is nothing more than the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer.
