Mentorship Theatre Arts


Theatre Arts MP1 offers a full schedule of theoretical and practical classes as well as hands-on practical training. Classes vary between ensemble courses and private lessons. RSA endeavors to train well-rounded theatre artists in each programme. The focus of Theatre Arts MP1 is general skill development within theatre. Students hone their skills in acting, study the fundamentals of theatre management, and further their interest through elective courses.

The performance component of Theatre Arts MP1 takes place on the BMO Studio Stage where students are expected to be fully involved as actors in the productions and participate in the production process, including costumes, props, lights, or set construction.

The focus of Theatre Arts MP2 & MP3 is leadership development within the arts. A number of specialized courses enable the student to explore areas of special interest, such as writing, directing, design, music direction, stage management or producing. Students are encouraged to audition for Rosebud Theatre productions on the BMO Studio Stage, and the Rosebud Opera House as well as the Canadian Badlands Passion Play, and other projects. In addition to working in various areas of technical theatre and completing a final project. Eligibility for attendance at Theatre Alberta’s Emerge auditions will be determined by the education team.

Theatre Arts students will attend the International Theatre Trips to London, England and New York City in their during their MP1 & MP2 programmes.

Upon completion of the Theatre Arts Mentorship Programme students are inducted into the Rosebud School of the Arts Guild as Fellows (F.R.S.A.).
