Varscona Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Varscona Theatre (10329 - 83 Avenue) is a live performance venue in the Old Strathcona neighborhood of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. A former firehall, since 1994 the Varscona has been operated by a consortium of small theatre companies, including Rapid Fire Theatre, Shadow Theatre and Teatro la Quindicina (collectively known as The Varscona Theatre Alliance). The theatre is also the home of the nationally-renowned live improvised soap opera Die-Nasty and the improv variety show Oh Susanna!.

The Varscona Theatre was formerly called the Chinook Theatre, and served as the headquarters of Chinook Children's Theatre and the Edmonton International Fringe Festival from 1983-1993. It is still used as a venue during the Fringe festival every August.

The 2007/2008 house technician is Mike "Asshole" Takats.
