MESSAGE
FROM THE
Mayor
With a diverse season of artists
as vast as Canada’s landscape,
The Arden Theatre hosts top
Canadian talent in its 2016–2017
season. From west coast blues,
to east coast folk, to spoken word
from the great white north, and
everything in between; get ready
for a Canadian arts and cultural
celebration from across the nation.
As The Botanical Arts City, we
place great emphasis on cultural
expression through the arts, and
we are honoured and privileged
to welcome musicians, speakers,
dancers and theatre artists from
every province and territory to
St. Albert, in the interest of commemorating Canada’s 150th anniversary
of Confederation.
On behalf of City Council, thank you for joining us on an artistic journey
across this great country we call home. We hope your experiences at
The Arden Theatre offer you many moments to expand your sense of what
it truly means to be Canadian.

MESSAGE
FROM THE
Presenter
Oh, Canada! We’re tackling new
territories this season – literally.
When I set out last fall to start
programming the 2016-2017
season, I was inspired to celebrate
Canada’s fast-approaching 150th
birthday by assembling a season
of performances, films and events
from all across Canada. This season
we’re going on a cross-country road
trip, stopping in every province and
territory to make new friends and
visiting with some of our long-time
Arden Theatre family.
We live in a country where we are
privileged enough to openly honour
and celebrate the art and culture of
our Indigenous Peoples, our ancestors and newcomers to Canada. We are
a country rich with resources, but I believe it is the people, as well as our
artistic and cultural talent, that provides the greatest wealth and reward.
This year, I hope that you enjoy your artistic and cultural journey across
this vast landscape and join me in celebrating this beautiful country we
call home.

In 13th century Germany, the
medieval town of Hamelin is way
too big for its lederhosen. The town
is governed by a spoiled Mayor, his
Mommy and stuffy corporate cronies
who have left the town in serious
trouble. Twins Celeste and Ralph are
baffled, so with the help of a hapless
“Minstrel”, they devise a plan and
set out to make the grown-ups
wake up and smell the strudel!
Stretching the boundaries of live
theatre through mime, dance,
clown, puppetry and acrobatics,
Axis Theatre has amused and
inspired children, families and
adults with entertaining shows for
over 40 years.
