History
The Twenty-Fifth Street House Theatre was founded in Saskatoon in 1972 by a number of residents who were concerned with establishing a professional theatre to produce new plays written by Canadians, with an emphasis on the prairie region. The Theatre had produced more than 60 plays by 1986, and sponsored or co-produced many others, including 21 contemporary Canadian hits. Its most important play to win national acclaim was Paper Wheat, the story of the farmers' movement.
