Rosebud, AB

Rosebud School of the Arts sits at the heart of one of the most vibrant artistic communities in Canada, where students discover a life of spirit-filled creativity and artistic expression.  Through its conservatory programs, Rosebud develops honest, caring and talented theatre artists – who have the skills and the heart to make a difference in the world.

Unique to Rosebud School of the Arts is its affiliation with Rosebud Theatre, Western Canada’s largest rural professional theatre.

With more than 40,000 annual patrons, Rosebud Theatre provides students an unparalleled opportunity to practice their craft in a working theatre – honing their skills as apprentices with professional theatre mentors, as they prepare for a career in the performing arts.

“Nothing will teach you like an audience,” says Nathan Schmidt, RSA acting instructor and a frequent performer. “Students aren’t just up there for nine shows – but for 90 shows!  The young actors live on the deck in a real way, not just as an exercise.”

Rosebud’s one-, two-, and four-year programs emphasize personalized mentoring, hands-on training and study trips to world-class theatre around the world – including New York City and London, England. These opportunities are the hallmarks of an educational dynamic available only in Rosebud.
