Theaters are spread throughout the downtown area on Broadway between Memorial Drive NW to 17th Avenue S/8 Street SW all while being within walking distance from one another or accessible by public transportation if you don’t mind taking some stairs here and there! There’s also ample nightlife nearby in case anyone gets bored before showtime.
In between Ninth and Eighth Avenue is called Stephen Avenue Mall, and that’s a really fun thing to walk down as well. There’s so many neat little, shops and tourist places and restaurants along Stephen Avenue Mall, but at the end of Stevenson, is the main theater complex.
Many people might be be familiar with the Calgary, or Alberta theater projects, but The One Yellow Rabbit Theater is a hidden gem. It’s a little bit more of an experimental theater.
It’s what’s commonly referred to as a black box. Unlike the Alberta and Calgary theaters, which is your traditional stage setup with auditorium in front. One Yellow Rabbit is a black box, so there’s no actual stage. It’s just, a blank black room. And so people are able to set it up and what we’re configuration or however they need to make use of the space.
