Welcome to Rosebud School of the Arts, a place where discovery is happening all the time.

A while ago I had coffee with a Rosebud graduate, who told me that the most valuable thing she learned in Rosebud was to put words to her dreams. “In going after my dream, I fell in love with my life,” she said. That is not a throw-away sentiment!

To be in love with your life means you understand to what purpose you were created and who you are meant to be. It’s this discovery that lies at the heart of Rosebud’s training programmes. At Rosebud, students have the opportunity to discover who they are, their heart’s desire, and their purpose as artists and human beings.

Discover the Self
All of us, deep down, if we’re honest with ourselves, want to be discovered.  We want to be known… intimately… and loved unconditionally.  Rosebud School of the Arts offers a place where people can come and have the opportunity to be discovered.  This is accomplished through training in the arts, and more specifically theatre. 

f we are to be honest as artists, we must be willing to expose the very core of our being in a very public way. We must be willing to be discovered. The same is true if we are honest as human beings and as Christians. In the classroom at Rosebud School of the Arts, students discover and develop their complete and unique self to the end of producing honest, caring, and talented graduates, who have the skills and the heart to make a difference. This difference translates into challenging and compassionate story-telling in a world that so desperately yearns for theatre to transport the heart, mind and soul.

Discover the Artist
Our affiliation with Rosebud Theatre, Alberta’s largest rural professional theatre, gives students the unparalleled opportunity to practice their craft in a working theatre, honing their skills with experienced theatre professionals. Every year thousands of Rosebud Theatre patrons discover the artists who have trained at Rosebud School of Arts.
