March 2026Reel Movie Mondays: The Day Iceland Stood Still
Reel Movie Mondays is our independent film series that screens as part of TIFF Film Circuit, screening on select Monday evenings (6:30 pm) at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.
The Day Iceland Stood Still - March 9
Pamela Hogan
United States of America, Iceland | 2024 | 72m | English | Rise & Shine Cinema | Not Yet Rated
90% of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975, refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children.
They brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman” today.
Perfectly timed for release in the lead-up to the strike’s 50th anniversary in 2025, the film’s message about the collective power of women to transform their society inspires viewers to reimagine the possible.
Single Tickets: Students $5 | Members $10 | General $15

March 2026Bull Skit Late Night
Late Night - Fully Improvised
It’s late. It’s live. It’s completely made up.
It's late-night television like you’ve never seen it before where every moment is improvised and anything can (and will) happen. With a opening monologue crafted moments before the show all by the funniest minds at Bull Skit Comedy, the night kicks off in classic talk show fashion… before veering delightfully off the rails.
Our host welcomes a rotating lineup of fascinating, exceptional, and entirely (or at least mostly) imagined guests each one more unpredictable than the last. From awkward interviews to outlandish stories, musical performances, this show pulls out all the stops.
This isn’t just a talk show. It’s a live experiment in comedy, character, and chaos.

It’s Whose Line is it Anyway meets The Thunder from Down Under!
The cast of Canadian Steam has rocked stages at Just for Laughs, picked up Canadian Comedy Awards, and performed with Second City -appearing on CBC’s The Debaters, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. Now they’re bringing you a comedy show that’s 100% Canadian and 1000% ridiculous.
Canadian Steam: They’re Polite, But Not Tonight.
This flannel-fueled night of music and comedy features:
- Hilarious improvised songs & sketch
- Dangerously enthusiastic dance numbers
- Exciting crowd work!
- The perfect amount of jaw-dropping “eh”-rotica!
- And plenty of Cheeky Canadian charm
They’ll improvise and tantalize Great White North style!
Click Here to Watch them in Action!
From the creators at The Comedy Department - winners of the 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, this laugh-out-loud sexy spectacle has been delighting audiences everywhere. Check out these rave reviews! .
These flannel-clad heartthrobs have been officially dispatched by the Ministry of Sexy™ (yes, that’s totally a thing) to prove that Canada isn’t just nice - it’s devastatingly funny.
But here’s the twist: YOU decide if they’ve earned the Official Stamp of Sexy at the end of the night. Your cheers, your laughter, your votes hold the power.
If not? They'll be politely asked to hang up their plaid and retreat quietly to their log cabins in shame.
Armed with maple syrup, silky serenades, some of the most averagely sexy bods this side of the Rockies, these lumberjacks are on a government-sanctioned mission to bring the funny and the heat -one Timbit-loving town at a time.
So whether you're out with your crew, celebrating something big, or just craving a night of maple-drenched mayhem -Canadian Steam is the comedy experience you didn’t even know was included in your healthcare.

April 2026Secondhand Dreamcar in Concert
Secondhand Dreamcar, an explosive soul/roots/blues band from Edmonton, is a true superband – a consummate constellation of Canadian music veterans who have worked on some of the finest jazz, funk, folk, soul, and blues projects ever created in Alberta – and they are bringing their live show to Red Deer. Collectively, they craft a distinct, funky, and lyrically-driven sound that journalist and programmer Peter North called the most exciting thing to come out of the city since k.d. lang and the Reclines.
A CKUA Radio favourite, Secondhand Dreamcar’s debut album Answer The Call was its 6th most played album of 2024, and in 2025 the band became instant Alberta festival favourites, tearing up the stages at Edmonton’s and Calgary’s International Blues Festivals, and the Edmonton Folk Festival, among others. The Dreamcar has started off 2026 right, receiving three Canadian Blues Music Awards nominations and a JUNO nomination for Blues Album of the Year. Their second album will be released in the fall. Don't miss the chance to see them live.
