It’s Edmonton theatre like you’ve never seen it before.
Rebuilt and renewed
The Varscona’s new venue is now open. The renovations retain all the intimacy our audiences love, while heightening the performance experience.

We’re artist-run, meaning our seven Edmonton theatre companies both operate and perform in our space. Actors, playwrights and directors share the stage in an unprecedented cooperative spirit.
