Maygen Kardash

Hi, dear reader! Maygen aka “Sneaks” here. Every Thursday morning, I make a list of things to do in Saskatoon with an emphasis on low or no cost events. Follow me on Instagram and turn your notifications ON to be reminded & get much more local content in my feed and stories. I volunteer to make these weekly guides. Your engagement on my social platforms, especially your interaction on my paid posts, is how my small business thrives. Find this list useful? Quickly go spam my social pages with likes (Instagram OR tiktok OR on Facebook). And ooh if you’ve got a minute, I’d love your 5 star review on Google: https://g.page/r/Ceb8XSqjBBapEBM/review TIA!

On now- The Woman in Black at Persephone (previews on, Opening Night is Friday)- “The Woman in Black is a gothic horror – a psychological thriller that relies on your mind and imagination to amplify the story – and its is one of the best in the genre! This play relies on classic theatre tricks and the magic of live storytelling, which makes it super fun for the artists to create, and the audience to experience because they can’t help but wonder ‘How did they do that?!'” -Heather Cant, Artistic Director. Tickets range $36-64
