A sleepy prairie town isn't where you'd usually head for dinner and a show, but if you drive east from Calgary to the town of Rosebud, that’s exactly what you'll find. And once you find it...you may not want to leave.

In its 30th season, Rosebud Theatre is one of Alberta’s premiere theatre companies and has gained an international reputation as an excellent Canadian destination for high quality live theatre.  Annually, more than 40,000 patrons enjoy the “Rosebud Experience” of professional theatre, complemented by unique dining – there's a magnificent buffet at the Rosebud Mercantile dining room - , art galleries, museums and boutique shopping. And it's all included in the price of the show.

Rosebud is also home to Rosebud School of the Arts, a post-secondary educational institution that offers conservatory training in theatre and music to students, many who advance to perform in productions by Rosebud Theatre

Just driving through? Stop by our new restaurant - Wild Horse Jack’s Bistro & Grill for lunch or dinner and take in an exhibition at our beautiful and quaint Akokiniskway Art Gallery

You'll also find "stay & play" packages from various bed-and-breakfasts or hotels in Rosebud, Strathmore & Drumheller. They're a great way to squeeze in some golf or explore Dinosaur Country while you're in the area.

Rosebud Centre of the Arts is 100 km east of Calgary and 35 km west of Drumheller. .In past years, Rosebud Theatre has received multiple awards including Travel Alberta’s “Alberta Pride” ALTO Award, the “Rural Tourism Champion” award and the Rozsa Awards. In 2012, it was named by Alberta Venture magazine as among the Top 25 Most Innovative Organizations in Alberta.
