Join us this Black History Month as we welcome back acclaimed artist, musician, and historian, Donna Coombs-Montrose. With over 20 years dedicated to detailing the stories of the African diaspora, her special program features infusions of song, dance, and live music. This dynamic presentation tells the story of the often under-recognized recruitment of skilled workers from the Caribbean, who played a large role in the dramatic transformation of rural northern Fort McMurray, and Alberta’s oil sands industry from the 1960s – 90s.

 It’s 2004. Beanie babies are flying off the shelves, Shrek 2 is a box office hit, and Britney Spears is not a girl, not yet a woman. 14-year-old Shelby Hinkley has kidnapped Tobey Maguire, at the height of his career, to force him into marrying her. Join Baker Miller Pink for a parasocially unhinged Y2K comedy, complete with the upside-down kiss you didn't know you needed this Valentine's Day.

February 12-15th 2026 at The Studio at Vertigo Theatre

What could you expect when music creation was inspired by a clown? Icarus 3 is an improvising trio composed of Jeremy Gignoux (violin/viola), Keith Rodger (double bass), and Robin Tufts (drums, percussion). They created their original repertoire in an unusual and experimental way: with the help of the clown. Under guidance from clown performer and educator Jacqueline Russell, they explored their inner clowns, which gave birth to musical compositions and improvisation games that display a joyful and wild creative energy.

PUNCH LINE; A tour de force performance, where philosophical stand-up comedy collides with stripped down dance-theatre storytelling. Jacques Poulin-Denis offers a charmingly intelligent performance that thinks, moves, and laughs at the same time. Through stories, dance and anecdotes filled with joyful irony, insight and humour, he reveals himself.
