Persephone Theatre

After a number of short-term Artistic Directors, in 1982 Hungarian-born Tibor Feheregyhazi was named to the position.

In 2007, after a successful capital campaign, Persephone Theatre moved to its current facility, the Remai Arts Centre at River Landing.

[1][2] Shortly before the move, Tibor Feheregyhazi died after a lengthy battle with cancer.

The Remai Arts Centre facility, located on the riverbank in downtown Saskatoon, includes a 421-seat proscenium Main Stage, a 150-seat black box second stage (the Backstage Stage), two classrooms, and two rehearsal halls, as well as box office, administrative offices, a scene shop, costume shop, and storage.

Originally from Saskatchewan, Surjik relocated from Vancouver, British Columbia, where he had been artistic director of Pi Theatre for 10 years.
