    Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? follows two souls as they journey through seven important moments in Metis history – from the birth of Metis nations on the plains to the colonization driven by the fur trade, the disappearance of the buffalo, and the rise of the Metis Association of Alberta.

    This moving tale weaves together stories and a life-sized buffalo puppet, with true historical events to explore the love, loss, and resilience of Treaty 6’s Metis peoples. At its heart, this story celebrates the rich lessons and love stories of the buffalo. This Theatre for Young Audiences production is perfect to be enjoyed by youth ages 9 and up and is a great way to celebrate family day.

  • Wild Woman

    by Kat Sandler

    Directed by Jamie King
    A Gateway Theatre and Alberta Theatre Projects Production
    Mainstage
    April 16 – 25, 2025

    As the young newlywed of King Henry II of France, Catherine de Medici thought her life at court would be a fascinating forum of political discourse. Instead, the palace is a cruel and disturbing place where her singular function is to be a baby-making machine for male heirs. Even the other women at her side, a scheming lady-in-waiting and the king’s power-hungry mistress, seem to mostly fend for themselves. The only kinship she finds is with the paperback-romance hot, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeon as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. His friendly and feral presence gradually awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and once she unleashes it, no one is safe from her vengeful wrath.

    Based on the shocking true story that inspired Beauty and the Beast, Kat Sandler brings her trademark rapid-fire wit to this salacious saga of an infamous bad girl who could not be tamed. A viciously funny and sexy thrill ride, Wild Woman is about what happens when we let the monster out. Being bad never felt so good.
