(INSET) FRED THORNHILL/CP IMAGES, (ORPHAN BLACK) 2014 BBC WORLDWIDE AMERICAS INC., AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM (SASK) INC. S P R I N G 2 0 1 5 | W E S T W O R L D 13 O nce an avid performer on the improv team at Regina's Dr. Martin LeBol- dus High School, Tatiana Maslany will make her off-Broadway debut this May in the world premiere of e Way We Get By. e 28-year-old has come a long way since her passion for the performing arts was first ignited. After graduating from high school, the Canadian Improv Games alumna moved to Toronto and soon captured the attention of television and film producers not only in Can- ada but also in Britain and the United States. Now with numerous nominations and awards under her acting belt, Maslany has worked alongside such stars as Victor Garber, Ray Liotta, Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams and Cuba Gooding Jr. Her lead role in the 2014 independent movie Cas & Dylan, featuring renowned actor Richard Dreyfuss, earned her a Phillip Borsos Award for Best Performance at the 2013 Whistler Film Festival. And her best- known role, a young woman named Sarah Manning who realizes she is one of many clones (all played by Maslany) in the BBC Amer- ica and Space original series Orphan Black, fetched two Critics' Choice Television Awards, a 2014 Golden Globe Award nomination, a 2014 Canadian Screen Award and a 2015 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination (winner announced after press time). What's next for the Saskatchewan-raised celeb? Catch her in the 2015 movie Woman in Gold, where she plays a young Maria Altmann, a Jewish refugee (Helen Mirren plays Altmann in her later years). Or head to New York to see her live in Neil LaBute's e Way We Get By.

Thanks to the Sas- katchewan chapter of Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC), an infor- mal network of provincial organiza- tions, students are now happily learning about one of their favou- rite snacks. The charity, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, pro- motes agriculture education and awareness through innovative, curriculum-based, hands-on activi- ties and outreach programs offered in a fun learning environment for students of all ages. A big hit with the younger stu- dents, AITC's Pizza Plots program in Saskatoon, Yorkton and Moose Jaw sees Grade 3 students managing their own pizza farm. Hand-plant- ing seeds in the spring, they return to the plots in the fall to harvest their pizza-topping crops of onions, garlic, tomatoes, basil and oregano. The children then learn about other ingredients such as cheese, flour and pepperoni while they make, bake – and eat – their own pizzas. AITC Saskatchewan also offers programs for high school educators and students, including a drop-in summer garden program in Saska- toon; a Salute to Saskatchewan Farmers lesson plan that encour- ages students to appreciate and rec- ognize the food produced by Saskatchewan farmers; and several field trips and tours of livestock operations, grasslands, museums and a shelterbelt centre. aitc.sk.ca W THE WAY SHE GETS BY
