Though we are all familiar with the phrase “art imitates life,” few performances capture this reality as well as Catalyst Theatre’s The Invisible: Agents of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Inspired by the Special Operations Executives (SOE) of the Second World War, the play...
There are many ways to measure the success of a show: professional accolades, rave reviews, the continuing achievements of cast and crew alike. While six-time Tony award-winning Dear Evan Hansen can humbly brag about all of these categories, I measured the musical...
After an enormously successful run in Toronto following the show’s instant popularity on Broadway, fan favourite Dear Evan Hansen is debuting at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Feb. 11. The heartfelt musical has won six Tony awards for its honest approach...
With winter upon us, students may be looking for some fun indoor entertainment options. Luckily for us, MacEwan University’s theatre season has got our backs! For the first time in their 30-year history, MacEwan Theatre will be performing their rendition of Pippin....
Each year, MacEwan University’s Theatre Arts and Theatre Production programs work together to create two full-scale productions that are staged, one each term, in the Triffo Theatre in Allard Hall, and one smaller production that is performed in the Hall’s...

On Oct. 12, Hideaki Anno’s Shin Godzilla screened at the Scotiabank theatre in West Edmonton Mall and will have additional screenings on Oct. 19 and Oct. 24. The Godzilla franchise has had a precarious history as of late, especially in North America. The three most...

As someone who is obsessed with television and film, I rarely attend musical theatre, but last week I was lucky enough to take in a MacEwan University production encompassing all that makes live theatre loveable: murder, mystery, melodies, choreography, and comedy...
