Registrations are open for Artstrek 2026!
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 65 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 is The Birds by Yvette Nolan.
Artstrek will take place 12 to July 25 at Red Deer Polytechnic.
Exploration I (Ages 12-15): July 12 – 17, 2026.
Exploration II (Ages 16-18): July 19 – 25, 2026.
