KEEP THE LIGHTS BRIGHT

Support the Varscona Theatre

Why Give

Without our audiences, we wouldn’t have a reason to step on stage. They are the reason we continue to fundraise for the Varscona; it’s their enjoyment of our work that continues to motivate and inspire us. 

Your generosity directly supports our patrons and the broader Edmonton community by strengthening their access to affordable and engaging theatre in the heart of our amazing city. It also supports the many actors, directors, playwrights, technicians and staff that call our theatre home. 

We’ve long been seen as an incubator for local Edmonton talent and are extremely proud to continue this important work together with you. Thank you in advance for your support!


Our Theatre

  • 200 seats in main theatre

  • Steep rake for optimal views

  • Curvilinear stage sits a few feet from the front row

  • A lobby that’s three times the size of the old one

  • Soundproofed theatre chamber, maximized for acoustics

  • State-of-the-art lighting and sound

  • Secondary 60-seat space for rehearsals and more intimate shows


Not only does the new design heighten the performance experience, but it also encourages community interaction and expression. As a vibrant hub of theatrical activity, the new Varscona is bound to serve Edmontonians for decades to come, while providing the city with a notable tourist attraction.

To all our donors, sponsors, supporters and builders: We simply can’t thank you enough. We can now point to our stunning new theatre with pride, all because of the role you’ve played in rebuilding it.
