Citadel Theatre, Major performing arts venue in downtown Edmonton, Canada
Citadel Theatre is a performing arts complex in downtown Edmonton with six distinct performance spaces. The venues range from the intimate Lee Pavilion with 20 seats to the Maclab Theatre with 705 seats, allowing multiple productions to run simultaneously.
The theatre was founded in 1965 when Joseph H. Shoctor purchased a former Salvation Army building and opened it with a production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". This initial venue became the foundation for what developed into one of Canada's largest regional theatres.
The theatre hosts the Foote Theatre School, where people of all ages can take acting classes and workshops. This place plays an important role in the community by offering residents opportunities to learn and develop their artistic skills.
The building offers accessible parking and features a café and gift shop for visitors. You can purchase tickets online, which makes planning your visit straightforward.
The complex contains six separate performance spaces in total, making it one of Canada's third-largest regional theatres. This arrangement means different productions can happen at the same time across different stages.
