An 'EIFF Altering' festival returns this fall! Passes for the 39th Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF), September 25 - October 4, are now on sale. With incredible short films, eye-opening Q&As, and exclusive Gala events, the Edmonton International Film Festival is more exciting than ever.
For this concert, Mr. Goodyear will present an exciting program pairing his own dazzling works with three of Beethoven’s most celebrated sonatas.
The Citadel Theatre is excited to announce a call for Participants for our Playwrights Lab 2025 – 2026. This season long program focuses on Edmonton and Alberta playwrights writing Large Scale Productions suitable for the two Mainstage spaces at the Citadel: the Shoctor and the MacLab Theatres.
After two years of focusing on theatrical adaptations, this upcoming season, we would like to welcome original plays and musicals.
Our work is inclusive, reflecting the diversity of our communities and featuring a breadth of new stories, voices, and perspectives. We support innovative new plays that will excite both the artists that work on them and the audiences who take them in. Our vision is international, while retaining an emphasis on Edmonton and Alberta-based artists and stories – placing them in the international spotlight.
The Citadel Theatre offers a Lab-style program to support four playwrights, as they build a new full-length play or book for a musical project, suitable for production on one of the Citadel’s Mainstage spaces. Writers will meet regularly as a group, led by Associate Artistic Director Mieko Ouchi, culminating in readings of the four plays or portions of the four plays with professional actors at the 2026 Collider Festival.
This program will take place from September 2025 to June 2026 through in person meetings throughout the year. Participants will be paid a $3000 honorarium.
We invite applications from Edmonton and Alberta playwrights who have already completed at least two full length plays (1 hour long minimum each), and who would like to work on a new Large Scale play over the 2025 – 2026 Season. While we encourage people of all ages to apply, this program is not built to support writers at the beginning of their writing journey. Applications should be a maximum of four pages, and should include:

We wish to acknowledge that the land on which we live and work is Treaty No. 6 territory and a traditional meeting ground and home of the First Nations, including both the treaty signatories – Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stony and Cree-Iroquois – as well as other Indigenous peoples, such as the Blackfoot and Métis, who occupied this land. We extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live, create and perform on this territory.
The Citadel Theatre is in the heart of amiskwaciwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Edmonton, AB), and we are proud to call Treaty 6 Territory home. As a regional theatre, it is integral that we ensure that the stories we tell, as well as the composition of our artists, board, staff, students and audience are reflective of the diverse lived experiences in this dynamic city.

Take a walk through any natural history museum and you’ll likely find yourself marveling at a wide diversity of specimens, from bugs to birds to reptiles and beyond.
Ever wondered how museum professionals prep and care for these specimens?
Join the Royal Alberta Museum for an Insect Pinning workshop and try your hand at prepping and pinning an insect specimen!
Learn first-hand from museum professionals about how and why natural collections prep and preserve animals for display and research.

Meet Curators, conservators and Exhibit staff and other RAM experts and learn about the research, care and planning that goes on to make the museum what it is.
Have you ever wished you could use the museum’s collections for sketching inspiration? Now’s your chance! We'll be showcasing rarely seen museum objects to create a still-life setup for you to practice your drawing skills.
Orcas can be found throughout all oceans in the world, but their behavior changes based on where they live. Much like diverse human cultures, each orca population has a unique way of feeding, diet, and migration.

Your ticket includes admission to the RAM galleries, including Orcas: Our Shared Future.
