We have exciting news for Alberta schools this fall.
Trickster Theatre is offering a select number of school residencies at a substantially reduced fee — just $5,500 of professional theatre, brought directly to your school
What Does the Residency Include?
Over the course of 3 days, 10 to 12 classes — from Grade 1 through to your graduating grade — work together to create and perform a theatrical show.
We handle everything:
- Full production setup — lighting, curtains, sound, costumes, and props. Your gym becomes a real black-box theatre.
- Professional facilitation — our artists guide students through an improv-based creative process using movement, storytelling, dialogue, and everyday objects.
- A unified school-wide performance — every class contributes to one shared show, built around a single theme.
This fall’s proposed theme is “You Belong Here” — rooted in inclusivity, identity, and community. Students from all backgrounds come together to explore what it means to belong, and to tell that story through theatre.
What Does Your School Need to Provide?
Just space and access.
- Gym availability for the four days (uninterrupted)
- 3–4 additional spaces for rehearsals
That’s it, we bring the rest.
Why This Matters
Students build storytelling skills, creative confidence, and teamwork — while the whole school connects through a shared artistic experience. It’s meaningful, memorable, and it works.
Trickster Theatre has been bringing this process to Alberta schools and communities for over 35 years. This is a rare opportunity to access it at an exceptional price.
If your school is interested, we’d love to connect and walk you through the details.
