Guidelines
To combat artistic insularity, the Education Department organizes regular theatre field trips to Calgary throughout the year. In February, students participate in an extended field trip to another city in Canada or abroad. 

Note: Due to budget and time constraints, theatre field trips are not reviewed and approved by Rosebud leadership prior to student viewing. Staff and students attend shows at their own discretion, gauging their own spiritual, emotional, and artistic readiness for each performance. The coordinator will flag questionable content wherever possible. Students are free to decline seeing any show as long as they make arrangements to see another professional show. When a particular show is required for class, attendance is mandatory.

Calgary Theatre Field Trips
Calgary field trips are geared towards seeing a wide variety of different theatre in professional houses. Occasionally there will be talk backs or pre-show chats with the actors or production personnel. Travel to and from the theatre venue provides discussion time about the performance and its merits. Every student in the Certificate and Mentorship Programmes is required to attend at least one professional or semi-professional production per month for every month they are in the programme.

West Coast Theatre Trip
This trip gives Certificate students an introduction to some of the theatre that happens in western Canada, with an emphasis on the Christian-oriented theatre companies such as Pacific Theatre and Chemainus Theatre.

In addition to seeing various shows and attending workshops with theatre professionals, the students may also participate in alternative styles of worship, tour art galleries, and have the opportunity to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with other students and RSA staff.

International Theatre Trip
In Mentorship Level I and Level II, students participate in a two-week field trip to one of the two major theatrical centres in the English-speaking world – London or New York, alternating each year.

Students see world-class theatre, participate in workshops and talk-backs with West End or Broadway professionals, and have backstage tours of theatres like the Metropolitan Opera House or the Royal National Theatre. The London trip includes a visit to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and travel to Stratford-on-Avon.

The International Theatre Trip is a wonderful opportunity to gain a more global picture and a wider scope of the international theatre community. Students will experience being immersed in another culture and have the opportunity to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with other students and RSA staff.
