The whole company is great, and I've always enjoyed the performances, but I've seen the National Ballet perform and I just can't give the AB 5 stars. Pricing is reasonable too; the Jubilee isn't a huge auditorium so the $50 seats are still pretty good. I believe the most expensive seats are around $120. They also take a keen interest before the show and during the intermission to provide entertainment for the kids. Arts and crafts, colouring, and my favorite a costuming area where kids can try on actual stage costumes.

Website is super clear and was great to know how long the show was, that there is no intermission, where to park, etc.. Since we had to change our tickets we had to pickup from box office but that was very easy to find and very nice people working there. We were in the Shocter theatre I think. It was more tight that I would have liked as it was awkward when we/other people had to squeeze by to get to their seats. Show was 10/10 great, definitely loud enough.

Awesome improv on Friday and Saturday night and tickets are a steal for 2 hours of entertainment. Rapid Fire Theatre is the best - love the Whose Line is it Anyways game style that they use.

Tickets were $10 and $15 respectively, worth every penny. Go while you still can! Perfect for a date or hang out with friends. Plus they have cheap drinks and candy (twizzler/nibs).

The Walterdale is a community theatre that gives many an aspiring actor, set designer, or…read moreproduction assistant some valuable experience. Although the productions are run primarily by volunteers (including the actors), the productions are very professional. Ticket prices are affordable, and there are Sunday matinees.

If you like live theatre, don't overlook what's happening at the Walterdale!

I have been involved with the theatre for the past…read more8 years - as a patron, a board member, an actor, painter, set builder, assistant stage manager, props - you name it, I've done it. I had no previous theatre experience, but the volunteers (they have one paid administrator, the rest is entirely volunteer run) scooped me up, fostered any talent I had in me and let me run with it. I am continually amazed at the professionalism in this amateur community theatre. Their most recent production, Nine, was phenomenal. The stage was incredible. The musicians were outstanding, the cast and crew were amazing. From upside down singing on a stripper pole, to dance numbers with a huge cast - this little theatre transported the audience out of their seats and into the Italian spa. The art in the lobby is indeed from local artists and is coordinated before each show to reflect the themes in the show. All are available for purchase and is a great way to integrate local artists into our community. The theatre is cozy and very intimate, but not too small that you feel claustrophobic. Ticket prices range from $12-$20, the first Thursday of every run is 2 for 1. Also the Monday before the show opens is Student night - students get in free with a valid Student ID. Amazing deal! Located next to the Strathcona Farmer's Market, the building is a converted fire hall - the first in Strathcona - and the building is a designated heritage spot at over 100 years old.

There really aren't any bad seats in the house. The theatre remains well kept, easy to access and a great spot in a beautiful neighbourhood.

The audio seemed fine but they were only playing recorded music so I don't know what it would be like for a live performance. Two pet peeves: - The seats aren't staggered at all so the person in front of you is right in front of you. Moving their head at the same time as you are moving your head, etc. If you get stuck behind someone taller than you, it's pretty much tough luck, suck it up. Also, not a lot of leg room, rows very close together. - I don't know if it's just because it was -30 outside, but it was boiling hot in the theatre. I got a little dizzy! A few of my friends commented on it as well.

Instead of the smaller dancers being the main focus they were used as backup dancers for the mediocre performances by older kids. The younger kids were often relegated to sitting on the stage watching the older dancers. It was also sad to see how missteps were made including near miss crashes between dancers and "soloists." It is a shame that the Edmonton School of Ballet used these little kids as a marketing tools to sell more tickets. You would think they would showcase their best students but, sadly, they probably did. If you do not believe me, wait until the DVD comes on sale! Be prepared for a good laugh - not at the kids' expense but at the quality of training at ESB.
