October 2025Frankenstein
Frankenstein by Tim Kelly, based on the novel by Mary Shelley. Directed by Ronen Eagles and Randy Corney. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, returns to his Swiss chateau to escape a terrible pursuer. No one can shake free the dark secret that terrifies him: not his mother, nor his fiancée, nor his best friend. For Victor has brought into being a creature made from pieces of the dead. The creature tracks Victor to his sanctuary to demand a bride to share its loneliness. Against his better judgement, Victor agrees, and soon the household is invaded by murder, despair and terror! The play runs from October 17 to November 1, 2025, in the Studio Theatre upstairs at CAT Studios (Red Deer Memorial Centre). Warnings: violence and death, possibly some strobe lights as well as loud sound cues, including gun fire. Frankenstein (Kelly)” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

November 2025Bull 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.
