Workshops by Request: Hometown Series are a series of Albertan theatre workshops and theatre classes generated by ideas and suggestions from the community, and facilitated by Theatre Alberta.
Hometown Series brings the resources of a skilled theatre professional to your community! Hometown Series workshops are coordinated by Theatre Alberta at your request and are targeted to the specific needs of your group. Workshops in both technical and non-technical aspects of theatre bring highly trained theatre artists to your community for one, one and a half, or two-day workshops. Workshops are also available as webinars online via Zoom.
Group members or ad hoc groups of individual members of Theatre Alberta are eligible to request and host a workshop or webinar. For more information on Workshops and Webinars by Request click the links on the left. Information on many other workshops and classes offered by organizations across Alberta are advertised through our online classifieds.
