Little Women the Musical, in Rosebud
I am someone who loves my summer theatre. When I was in Ontario I was amazed by how many summer theatres were running, not just at the big festivals like Stratford and Shaw, but also all of the “Ports and ‘Burgs” some of which I performed at (Port Dover) and some where I had works of mine performed (like the Port Stanley Festival Theatre, which premiered Bingo Ladies under Artistic Director Simon Joynes). I then spent 10 years performing with Rising Tide Theatre in Trinity Newfoundland, discovering my great great great great grandparents in the graveyard there and experiencing those beautiful summer months by the ocean.
Last summer was one of my first summers in awhile without a summer gig, which is why I’m so happy to be working at Rosebud Theatre this summer, and getting to experience a prairie summer in the province I grew up in. If you’re in Alberta and looking for some great theatre in a beautiful prairie oasis, come for a visit! Tickets are available at:
