Peace Region One Act Play Festival Saturday April 23 @ 7:30 pm

Alberta Drama Festival Association Peace Region One Act Play Festival is all about COMEDY and is back on Saturday April 23 at 7:30 pm! Hosted by the Grande Prairie Live Theatre. This festival has come alive after being cancelled for the past two years because of covid. Come out to support Grande Prairie Region’s actors for an evening of entertaining and sometimes thought provoking theatre.

GPLT is looking for plays for our 60th Season

The 2022-2023 season of Grande Prairie Live Theatre is approaching very quickly and it will mark our 60th Anniversary season! Slated to begin in September of this year and run through to June of 2023. These past 24 months have not been easy or pleasant for a great many of our patrons and with this in mind we are looking to bring more joy and laughter to the community. As a result, we are requesting that any past or current or new to GPLT director consider submitting any play of a “lighter” nature. We are also seeking anyone who may be new to our city, who may have a theatrical background or is looking to get involved with our theatre to take this opportunity to step forward and become a contributor to the live theatre scene in G.P. Submission forms are available by contacting the GPLT Box Office during regular box office hours or via email at Box.Office@gplt.ca . We ask that all submissions for consideration be dropped off or emailed to the GPLT Box Office by February 28th, 2022.
