Join us for Thirty & Flirty — a 30th anniversary gala celebrating three decades of bold, unforgettable theatre at the Varscona. Born in 1996, the Varscona has been Edmonton's home for daring, independent storytelling ever since, and we're marking the milestone with one spectacular night of cocktails, curtain calls, and a whole lot of flirtatious fun.
