A magical 18th century fairy tale with some unusual twists comes to life on stage at the University Theatre. The King Stag is presented by the Theatre department at the University of Regina March 25 to March 28. “This has been a learning experience for the students because they’re working on a newly devised adaptation as opposed to and tried and true script,” says director Joel Tremblay, who graduated from the U of R’s Theatre Department in 1987 and is a distinguished alumni. “I’ve been totally impressed with their fearless willingness to go on the arduous journey of staging a brand new piece of theatre. It’s their complete ability to play and to embrace the unknown that has made this project a labour of joy.”
