Click here for a great article about the history of our current location (Strathcona Fire Hall No. 1 / Edmonton Fire Hall No. 6), and a little bit of information about the restorations which took place in 2010 & 2011.

Walterdale Theatre Associates would like to thank the Government of Alberta for its support through the Community Spirit Donation Grant Program. Funds received through this program were used to help with some repairs to our building (Walterdale Playhouse) as well as some equipment. Funds received also helped to offset the costs of purchasing a new sound board for the booth and new sewing machines for our volunteers in the costume department.

We do it for Love, not Money!
