CATNIPS, our One-Act Festival from April 3-5, is back for another year and showcases local talent, big laughs, and unforgettable stories—CATNIPS is where Red Deer’s theatre scene shines in bite sized performances! It takes place just before The Heartland Regional, One Act Festival which will take place April 10 - 12, 2025 in Red Deer at Central Alberta Theatre! Note: Some plays contain strong language and mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.  THIS YEAR'S LINEUP - 7:30 each night! The Boor (by Anton Chekhov) – A hilarious clash of grief, loyalty, and unexpected romance unfolds when a stubborn landowner demands payment from a recent widow proving a point to her late, unfaithful husband.  West Brook Part 1 (by Jessica Swainson) – Can love break through the barriers of class expectations? Charles defies tradition when he falls for Melissa, a woman from a lower class, in this romantic drama about choice and family tensions.  A Trumped Up Fairy Tale (by Courtney Boniface) – A satirical, laugh-out-loud fairytale about a not-so-beloved king on a quest to make his kingdom great again. But first, he must answer the ultimate question: What do women want?  The Germ Chronicles (by Jeremy Robinson) – A semi-autobiographical staged reading exploring the creative moments that shape us, blending art, family, personal trauma, and humour in a deeply personal journey.
