Why not double your laughs after you treat yourself to a leisurely drive through the breathtakingly beautiful canola fields on the way to the picturesque hamlet of Rosebud? Plenty of family friendly laughs await you with Rosebud Theatre’s summer comedy package.
On Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout July and August visitors can enjoy two comedies in one day, plus a delicious buffet meal for less than $78 per person.We’ve scheduled both of our summer shows so that patrons can make the scenic prairie trek to Rosebud and watch either a matinee or an evening performance of W.O. Mitchell’s Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons on the Opera House stage and catch a performance of The Diary of Adam & Eve at 5:00 p.m. on our Studio Stage in the “West End” of Rosebud.
It makes the trip to our scenic village even more compelling because people have two opportunities to lighten their load with shows that are pure entertainment with a bedrock of heart - enjoyable for the whole family.
Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons is a compilation of three stories from W.O. Mitchell’s Jake and the Kid (The Day Jake Made Her Rain, Cabin Fever and You Gotta Teeter) in a two-act play about a boy and the hired farm-hand. The humour in the show is comparable to that of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in The Odd Couple and Grumpy Old Men.
The Diary of Adam & Eve also delivers a ton of laughs through its humourous comparison of men and women. Audiences will connect with these characters from the beginning of time and enjoy reflecting on how, deep down, we really haven’t changed that much.
