Walterdale Playhouse

Walterdale Playhouse, at 49 years old, is one of Western Canada's oldest amateur theatre groups. Operated by volunteers with a love of theatre, members of any age and background have the unique opportunity to participate in all aspects of live theatre.

Come join us at the TransAlta Arts Barn on September 27, 2008 for the 50 Years of Footlights Gala, where we will celebrate Walterdale Playhouse's 50th anniversary. Performances by past and present Walterdalians will be infused among cocktails, dinner, memories and family. The fun begins with laughter and cocktails starting at 6 p.m and dinner at 7 p.m.

The TransAlta Arts Barn is located at 10330 84Ave. Tickets are $45/per person and it is a general admissions event.

Tickets are on sale at tixonthesquare.com

Heading in to our 50th anniversary, the Walterdale Playhouse has launched a major fundraising initiative, 50 years of Footlights, to fund both a permanent record of the Walterdale's history and major renovations to preserve the current location of the Walterdale Playhouse.

Walterdale Playhouse is raising significant funds to enable needed renovations and enhancements to allow us to provide an outstanding and entertaining environment for volunteers and patrons. We have recently set up online donations through CanadaHelps.org. If you would like to make a payment using a credit card or PayPal, you may use this service. We still take donations through Tix on the Square, by mail, and through our donation box located next to the concession in the theatre. Thank you to everyone who has made a contribution by volunteer hours, support and monetary means.
