Rosebud Theatre & School of the Arts

A quaint 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. Rosebud Theatre & School of the Arts 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 delicious dining – there's a magnificent buffet at the Rosebud Mercantile. And it's all included in the price of the show. Folks who visit enjoy all this thriving arts village has to offer including performances on three different stages, exhibitions at the beautiful Akokiniskway Gallery and local attractions like the Rosebud and District Centennial Museum and several gift shops and art galleries. Plus, Rosebud is brimming with locally run Bed and Breakfast's for guests to relish in the charming hospitality. Also a post-secondary school with a 50-year history, the institution offers students conservatory music and theatre training within a community of professional working artists. Many advance to perform in productions by the theatre, across the province and country. Rosebud is just 35 km west of Drumheller, home to Alberta’s Badlands and the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Spend time viewing the art galleries, museums and local shops.
