  • Saturday, September 13 - Showcase

    • Doors: 6:30 PM

    • Showcase: 7 PM

Play In A Day (PIAD) is an all-ages theatre event that challenges participants to conceive, write, direct, and rehearse an original short play - all within just 24 hours! No previous theatre experience is required, everyone is welcome to join! Guided by a unifying theme and incorporating a surprise prop and costume element, PIAD fosters creativity, collaboration, and spontaneity among artists of all ages and experience levels. The event invites families, friends, co-workers, and fellow creatives to connect through the shared joy of performance.

Culminating in a live showcase at King Street Theatre (9808 King Street), the completed plays are performed before a supportive audience and a panel of local "celebrity judges." The awards ceremony adds a lighthearted, humorous touch - celebrating participation and creativity rather than promoting competition.

The theme, costume pieces, and props are revealed to the teams on Friday, September 12 at 6 PM at King Street Theatre.

MISCAST

MUSICAL

CABARET

Friday, September 26 at 7 PM
KING STREET THEATRE

The Miscast Musical Cabaret is a bold and inclusive new event that invites artists from across the Wood Buffalo region - regardless of age or experience - to take the stage in roles and musical numbers that inspire them, even if they might not traditionally be cast in them. This creative twist opens the door for performers to explore unexpected characters, genres, and vocal styles, sparking artistic growth and personal expression.

Designed to celebrate imagination and individuality, the cabaret offers a vibrant, supportive space for artists to take creative risks and for audiences to enjoy a joyful, unconventional evening of musical theatre. By encouraging participants to step outside their comfort zones, The Miscast Musical Cabaret fosters a spirit of experimentation, community connection, and pure theatrical fun.
