“One, Two, Three O’clock, Four O’clock Rock!” In the 1950’s anytime was a good time for the kids to rock. It is hard now to imagine a time when rock and roll was brand new. When a teenager had a friend who first said, “Hey, listen to this!”. Rock and roll was the most exciting sound that young people had ever heard. It was rowdy, fresh and even a little bit dangerous, according to your parents.

Let us take you back there one more time. To the time of Elvis and Buddy Holly… to the sound of La Bamba and Wake Up Little Suzie. Pull on those bobby socks and Put Your Head on My Shoulder.

Not just anywhere in the 1980’s but, to the precise moment in time when you first heard that song. What if you go back and experience that moment again as if it were the first time?

Created and performed by Warren Sulatycky, Walking Home explores his journey of care-giving for his mother as she progresses through stages of Alzheimer's/dementia. Deeply personal yet universal in scope, the work looks not only at Sulatycky’s own care-giving challenges but the hurdles faced by societies when it comes to looking after the health of its’ elderly and indeed of all age populations. Memory plays a highly personal and selective role in building our personal mythologies. But what happens when after creating our mythologies, they begin to disappear, to be replaced by only the living present (no past, no future), as is the case with advanced Alzheimer's? And how do loved ones respond to and assist with keeping those loved one’s mythologies alive, archived for the future?

Come live a day with the narrator as he cooks a last dinner for his family, before his parents transition to a senior residence. As the day progresses, the narrator explores real and imagined intertwined histories/personal mythologies, his mother’s, his Ukrainian grandmother Baba, and . . . Mozart; past and present collide with the questions: what is truth in memory and what is imagined?

A Canadian Musical About Heartbreak, Restoration, and the Uncertainty of Making a Life Off the Land.

We are MUNT. We don’t follow rules, we break them. We don’t wait for approval, we take what we want. And tonight, we’re giving you PepperMUNT, a late-night spectacle that’s as chaotic and unpredictable as we are.
This PepperMUNT takes place at Edmonton Public Library - Whitemud Crossing!
With two local Edmonton hosts, with a live band (led by Holly Sangster), this isn’t just a show, it’s a rebellion.
At 10:00PM, doors open, and the madness begins at 10:30PM. This is the afterparty for those who’ve already seen a show, the wild ride for those who crave something unexpected. The acts will leave you questioning what’s possible in performance, daring you to feel, to think, to confront the edge of discomfort. Expect the crazy, the fun, and the things you didn’t see coming.
Featuring acts by: Emelia Fox Hillyer, Dayna Lea Hoffmann, and more!
PepperMUNT is for those who aren’t afraid to go beyond entertainment, to break down the barriers between you and us, between performer and audience. We don’t do “safe,” we do raw. We don’t entertain, we disorient.

Agatha Christie’s greatest literary whodunnit comes to the stage. Detective Hercule Poirot has boarded the luxurious Orient Express along with a cabin full of mysterious characters from the beautiful Countess and boastful Mrs. Hubbard to the brash Colonel Arbuthnot and aristocratic Princess Dragomiroff. After a shocking murder in the night, the legendary detective must use his keen eye and attention for detail to gather the evidence and solve the case to catch the murderer in their midst. Along the way he uncovers secrets, clues, motives and hidden identities in this story of revenge and justice.

By Agatha Christie

Jupiter Theatre presents Winging It!
2026 - September 26, October 17, October 31, November 7
2027 - January 16, January 30, February 13, February 27, March 6, March 20, April 3, April 17
at Theatre 1308

Winging It! is an improvised fantasy comedy show—think a cross between a TTRPG Actual Play and an improv game show in the vein of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Mixing short form and long form improv with a fantasy RPG à la Dungeons & Dragons, this show is a recipe for critical tales and epic fails. Roll the dice! Expect laughter and adventure! Let’s have some fun!

The show is fully improvised, created live with suggestions from the audience. If you're a fan of fantasy role-playing games this show is for you. If you're not, but you just like laughing, this show is also for you!

Each of the shows is a standalone adventure, but they’re also part of a larger story. This means whatever show you come to, you’ll have a great evening of entertainment. If you attend more than one, you’ll be rewarded by seeing the same characters progress through a larger adventure. Either way, come out, have a laugh, have a drink if you want, and get ready for some fun-loving merrymaking.

Recommended for ages 14 and older due to swearing, suggestive content, and occasional rude humour.

Rooted in the spirit of Kipling’s classic while boldly reimagined for today’s world, A Concrete Jungle Book is a contemporary musical originally conceived for StoryBook Theatre’s 40th season. Set within an urban landscape shaped by rules, hierarchies, and survival instincts, the story follows a young protagonist searching for identity, belonging, and family in a city that doesn’t always make space for difference. Featuring a driving modern score and rich ensemble storytelling, the piece offers performers dynamic characters, emotional range, and moments of both grit and heart. At its core, the show asks resonant questions for young people today: who decides where you belong, which rules are worth following, and how do you stay true to yourself while learning to stand together as a community?
