Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery shares local history through theatre this weekend
The Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery (MAG) will be transporting residents through time this weekend in a unique theatre experience.
From September 22-24, the MAG (4525 47A Ave.) will be holding three screenings of ‘Stories at a Museum’, a live theatre circuit of one act plays telling stories of Red Deer’s history.
Chandra Kastern, Director of Operations for the MAG, says attendees can go from one space in the museum to another, learning about three different stories woven together through one cohesive piece.
She says the idea came from their Board of Directors who were exploring a way to celebrate the museum’s 50th anniversary this year as the “keepers of Red Deer’s story”. The plays are written, directed, and performed by local artists.
