Stage Door - Creating OpportunitiesOn this page we’re compiling an as-close-as-we-can-get-to-complete list of extra-curricular creation opportunities available to teens across Alberta. Some of these programs are during the summer, some are workshops, some are classes, but they are ALL a great chance to either test the dramatic waters for the first time, or hone your current theatrical talents. If you know of more opportunities in your area, please let us know so we can help other young Albertans get involved in drama!
