Dynasty at Die-Nasty
Edmonton’s favourite live improvised soap opera is back for more cheesy gossip at the beautiful Varscona Theatre every Monday starting at 7:30 p.m.
This year the warring factions are between Calgary’s Rochefort oil dynasty and the Camembert rivals itching for a power grab.
Stuck somewhere in the middle are drunk wives, black sheep, petulant daughters, snippy secretaries, twin chauffeurs, team owners and St. Albert’s own Matt Alden as Jason Waterfalls, world famous architect and designer of the Calgary’s new arena.
Sixteen of the region’s most talked about actors including Mark Meer, Peter Brown, Jesse Gervais, Stephanie Wolfe, Belinda Cornish, Kristi Hanson and Jason Hardwick take on recurring roles.
Tickets are $18 at the door. Varscona Theatre is at 10329 – 83 Ave.
