APRIL 30 - May 18, 2025
A beloved Edmonton institution for over three decades! Don’t miss Die-Nasty, the award-winning, entirely improvised soap opera, unfolding live on the Varscona stage every Monday night at 7:30. Featuring a cast of fearless improvisers, surprise guest stars, and a new scandalous twist each week, no two episodes are ever the same. Hilarious, unpredictable, and endlessly entertaining!
