Artstrek is a summer theatre school for teens that provides professional learning with theatre artists and educators in a collaborative environment. Artstrek is more than 60 years old and has 10,000+ alumni working across Alberta, Canada, and the world.

Artstrek students explore the creative process through five daily classes that include the study of acting, movement, voice, devising, design, directing, and dramaturgy. All of these classes take inspiration from a single play of study—this year’s play The Birds by Yvette Nolan.

Artstrek will take place at Red Deer Polytechnic from July 12 to 25, 2026.

Exploration I (Ages 12-15): July 12 to 17, 2026

Exploration II (Ages 16-18): July 19 to 25, 2026

All Artstrek students receive a complimentary Theatre Alberta membership with access to Canada’s largest play library and Drama Online.
