Dear Me is a Retrospective Coming of Age Story that is Enduring, Charming and Magnetic
By Ezekiel McAdams
July 30 2026
Dear Me, Sincerely You by Beautifulminds Theatre is written and performed by Saskatoon artist, Julia Kowalski and directed by Darius Kiskotagan.
The production is running from July 30th-August 8th 2026 at the Refinery, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada as part of the Saskatoon Fringe Festival.
The production is a retrospective coming of age story of a young woman, reflecting on being twenty five and what it means to be a quarter life and the introspection of our past and present selves with musings of One Direction mixed in a nostalgic time capsule for good measure..
Kowalski gives a vulnerable, heartwarming performance infused with warm fuzzies that is truly magnetic. Kowalski emotes with her physicality and vocal cadence that makes her portrayal mesmerizing and unforgettable.
Kiskotagan’s directing is strong and measured and allows Kowalski to shine with the nostalgic set and props as a fitting background for the piece.
Dear Me, Sincerely You is running at the Refiney from July 30th to August 8 2026 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada as part of the Saskatoon Fringe Festival. Tickets can be purchased online here, the box office or the venue itself.
