Big Wreck performed at the Brandt Centre last year for the inaugural FROST winter festival while The Watchmen have made regular appearances in Regina over the years, the most recent coming in 2019.
The Crash Test Dummies have reunited for the Jingle All the Way Tour — their first major trek since 2018-19. It has been over 30 years since the release of their debut album, The Ghosts That Haunt Me.
The Juno-winning, Grammy-nominated group — best known for hits like Superman’s Song and Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm — released a new single in early 2023 called Sacred Alphabet.
“After a long absence from the road, Crash Test Dummies have begun to tour again,” lead singer Brad Roberts said in a media release. “(It’s) not something I’d planned on but surprisingly, at least to me, there are lots of people who, years later, still want to come and hear us. That people continue to return to see the band all these years later still stuns me. It’s very humbling.”

Regina’s Sterling Productions is opening the 2023-24 season with its latest version of the classic Rocky Horror Show from Oct. 26 to 28 at the Conexus Arts Centre.
“It’s the weird and the wonderful as newly engaged couple Brad and Janet encounter a problem when their car halts in the rain,” says a media release. “They find themselves at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite from the planet Transylvania. A place to stay is offered, but will Brad and Janet want to remain there?”
Meanwhile, Sterling Productions is set to conclude its 2022-23 schedule with a presentation of Seussical: The Musical (Aug. 30-Sept. 1 ).
Tickets at conexusartscentre.ca or sterlingproductionssk.com.

The Art Gallery of Regina’s latest exhibition — View from the Edge of the World — opens today and runs until Oct. 22.
It features artwork by Vera Saltzman and Sue Bland (Qu’Appelle Valley), SpekWork Studio (Regina/Bayport, NS), Catherine Joa (Denare Beach), the late Mike Keepness (Qu’Appelle Valley), Gladys Wozny Siemens (Rush Lake), and Golboo Amani (Toronto).
Admission is free.
The exhibition “rethinks preconceptions of landscape and art, dispelling stereotypes of the Prairie experience with artworks ranging from plaster casts to board games,” says a media release.
“As immigrants, settlers or Indigenous individuals, we need images of this place to understand, respect, and treasure this land,” adds curator Sandee Moore. “The Saskatchewan landscape is not flat and featureless, dropping into nothingness at the horizon. Instead, it is full of lives, stories, overlooked beauty and miraculous transformation wrought by humans, animals, weather and time.”
Visit artgalleryofregina.ca for a calendar of free events supporting the exhibition, including board game nights, sound art performances, zine making, and conversations with the artists.
