D E A G .C RE NE ESMAGAZI Wascana Park was the location of a unique outdoor theatre experience in mid-March. Come Along was created by Theatre Department students as a means to interact with a live audience during these pandemic times. Steeped in magical realism, the play presented themes of transgression and transformation. It featured original musical compositions by Music Department students Anika Zak and Connor Stewart. The cast included Kaydence Banga, Bronwen Bente, Benjamin Matity, Macey Hay, Tianna Chorney, Owen Westerlund, Billie Liskowich, Brad McDougall, Jadav Cyr and Jiness Helland. Stage management was by Rachel Butt, assisted by Erik Lillico. Music Department students Anthony Merkel, Joshua Stewart and Nathan Syrnick provided the music. The sold-out show had to close early due to more stringent COVID-19 health measures. Despite the early closure, Media, Art and Performance faculty member Shannon Holmes congratulated the cast and crew and said the experience was a magical, playful romp of a fairy tale for grown-ups. She added it was lovely to remember what it’s like to play live and see some joy on a spring evening. Photo by Trevor Hopkin, University of Regina Photography Department.

The University of Regina continues to realize the goals set forth in our Strategic Plan, mâmawohkamâtowin: Our Work, Our People, Our Communities, by working toward and responding to the needs and aspirations of our students, our people and our communities. The Board approved a new performance measurement framework to support the achievement of the goals set out in the strategic plan. We are pleased to report that the University of Regina is on track to meet or exceed all of the targets outlined in the framework. The province of Saskatchewan has a population now exceeding one million, the fastest growing economy and the only balanced budget of the 13 Canadian provinces and territories. To sustain this growth and momentum, the province needs well-educated young people. The University of Regina is in a strong position to support this growth through the approved campus master plan that would increase residence and daycare space on campus and address parking and space utilization.
