Thanks to the Saskatchewan Express Touring Musical Revue, the stage is always set with dancers, singers and musicians. Saskatchewan Express, now in its 35th year, has been entertaining audiences not only in Saskatchewan but across North America. They perform all types of musical genres and dance styles that have proven to be crowd-pleasers for all age groups. Members of Saskatchewan Express, who must be 15 years of age or older for the summer tour, truly earn their place in the cast. Auditions are held annually. Applicants are adjudicated by a panel of judges, including the artistic director of Saskatchewan Express, music professionals and professional dance teachers and/or choreographers. Following the Saskatchewan Express experience, many members continue with their performing arts journey. Alumni have appeared on stage with Regina's Globe Theatre, the Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon, the Stratford, Shaw and Charlottetown festivals, as well as on Broadway in New York and on board several cruise lines. Who knows? CAA members may have even enjoyed the performances of a few Saskatchewan Express alumni on trips aboard Holland America Cruise Lines, booked by CAA Travel. saskatchewanexpress.com, facebook.com/saskatchewanexpress W RED SERGE RIDERS high five for the rCMp Musical ride; (inset) the entourage includes some 32 riders and horses.
