We are delighted to present... RED DIRT SKINNERS LIVE AT SCOTT BLOCK THEATRE RED DEER AB

Described by Roots Music Canada as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music” the Red Dirt Skinners are the multi-award winning multi-instrumentalist husband and wife team of Rob and Sarah Skinner. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years.

The duo cross more genres than would make sense to mention and have won National and International Awards in Rock Folk Blues Country Roots Alt-Rock and Songwriting. It would be fair to say that if you like songs influenced by Pink Floyd Simon and Garfunkel Supertramp Queen David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling humour and heartfelt emotions you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert.

With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.

A Red Dirt Skinners concert combines captivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship. The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Be prepared for laugh-out-loud lyrics followed by songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!

Each Monday evening from 6:30 - 9:00 pm is a rehearsal night for our chorus and we invite you to drop in and hear us sing! Perhaps you would be interested in joining our chorus or perhaps you might be interested in hiring our chorus to perform at your event. Hear us in person!

In every era and culture, humankind has sought answers to profound questions about existence: Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? What happens after death? These universal inquiries touch the core of human experience and find expression across faith traditions, philosophies, and scientific exploration.

At the 18th Annual World Religions Conference, RDP, we would like to explore these themes through diverse perspectives. From religious doctrines to secular philosophies, we aim to foster a nuanced understanding of how our worldview shapes our approach to living a purposeful life and facing the inevitability of death.

Calling all theatre lovers for an evening of locally written one acts that were Edmonton Fringe successes! The Edmonton Fringe Festival is a renowned theatre festival that attracts artists from all over the world. We are showcasing two plays that were adored with accolades at this festival in years past! It’s Red Deer’s own Taste of the Fringe. 

Mark your calendars for April 4,5,6,8,10,12 for a 7pm evening show and April 12th for a 2pm matinee. Join us for a show that has two quirky stories that will have you laughing, and feeling all the emotions and then laughing again. 

Performances all held at the Scott Block Theatre. (4816 Gaetz Ave W, Red Deer) 

Our second show of our 2025 season is showcasing our professional and talented Central Alberta writers, performers, directors, and designers! The arts are alive and thriving in Red Deer. 

The “Thin Grey Line” features three over-the-hill actors backstage during the closing night performance of a less than stellar play and Sybil, the young assistant stage manager with the unenviable task of getting them on stage on time and in the right costumes.Whether they will remember their lines is another matter, completely out of her hands and is anyone’s guess!

In the middle of giving a Ted Talk on the Mislabeling of the heart and where our emotions really come from; Rose's own emotions get personified into Ganglia; that chaotically beautiful voice inside our heads; and chaos ensues.  There’s a brilliant mix of energy, hilarity, creativity and heart are all wrapped up in this joyful little play, “Thank you for Coming To My Ted Talk.”

The bar will be open to to wet your whistle and a few delicious snacks will be available to refuel you between the two one hour shows.

The Red Deer Arts Council is joining the global celebration of millinery called the World Hat Walk! Red Deer’s inaugural Hat Parade is a free community event on April 26^th, 2025, meeting at 12pm at City Hall Park for photos and meetups, with a tea party following the walk at the Scott Block Theatre.  

Hat lovers in cities around the world will take to the streets for the second World Hat Walk, showcasing creativity, craftsmanship, and community. From professional milliners and vintage fashion aficionados to cosplayers, collectors, and even hat-wearing pets, this event is an open invitation to all who share a love for headwear. (Only service animals may attend the tea party.)

Participation is free and World Hat Walk events are designed for fun and socialising rather than speed or distance. Red Deer Arts Council, our local organiser sets the routes, ensuring each walk reflects the unique character of its host city while bringing people together to admire fabulous hats, make new friends, and celebrate the artistry of millinery.

About World Hat Walk

World Hat Walk was launched in 2024 by Becky Weaver and Georgina Abbott to bring together the hat community. They have both been working in the industry over two decades to support milliners, hat lovers, and fashion enthusiasts through events, networking, and education.

World Hat Walk aims to uplift and showcase independent designers, many of whom are women-led businesses, as well as suppliers, retailers, and educators who contribute to the thriving world of hat-making.

Join us for World Hat Walk 2025 and be part of a truly global hat-loving community. Grab your most fabulous hat, gather your friends, and let’s walk the world in style!

Each spring, we join together to build a more hopeful future for all those affected by workplace tragedies.

On any given working day, three families will learn a loved one won't return home from work. Thousands more will experience a workplace injury or illness that will change their lives forever. Their families, friends, and co-workers will rally together to be there for one another.

The Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support, known as Threads of Life, supports the healing journey of families who have suffered from a workplace fatality, traumatic life-altering injury, or occupational disease.

Every year, Threads of Life hosts Steps for Life. This 5-km family walk aims to educate the community. It highlights the ripple effects of workplace tragedies. And, it shows how we can prevent such incidents.
