Theatre Club Teens Showcase

Get ready for a wild, chaotic, and totally unforgettable afternoon of physical comedy!

The Swamp Rat Experience Theatre Club Teens Edition proudly presents their latest production, The Green Bird by Hillary DePiano, for one exclusive performance on November 14, 2026!

This session, our talented teens have been exploring the historic world of Commedia dell’Arte: the Renaissance-era, high-energy Italian theatre style that originated much of what we know as slapstick comedy today.

Our young thespians have spent weeks mastering timing, physical gags, and exaggerated characters to bring you this hysterical, over-the-top comedy.

About the Show

The king is lost, the queen is buried alive, the kingdom is in ruins, and all is bleak... but this is a comedy after all!

When nobody else is worthy of the title of hero, it's up to twins Renzo and Barbarina to unravel the mystery of the Green Bird in time to save everyone from themselves. The wild, chaotic road to “happily ever after” is paved with curses, clowns, demons, enchanted fruit, and a talking statue who keeps revealing a little too much information. Trust us: this ain't your grandma's theatre!

Come out to support and cheer on Fort McMurray's emerging teen artists as they showcase their hard work, passion, and hilarious comedic chops!
