SaskExpress is back in Saskatchewan Provincial Parks as they embark on a six-park tour with this year's musical showcase, Frequency Quest. In Frequency Quest, a group of strangers try to read each other and guess what song a person was thinking of out of thin air. Under the guise of a fun fair game, they have been told that they can win any prize their hearts desire if they are successful. What they don't realize is that the host of the game intends to trick them into being trapped in the game forever.
Visitors can join SaskExpress at 2 p.m. before each show for their workshop in the park and learn a song and dance to perform with the cast during the show at 7 p.m.
