Our thriving community flourishes through engagement. And, choosing culture in our community is right at your fingertips! With three diverse series the Shell Theatre Performance Season offers something for everyone.

Variety is key as talented artists from around the world entertain attendees in our Professional Series. Fort Saskatchewan has never shone brighter than in our Fort Series which pairs local talents and artists with our community. Entertaining the next generation of culture lovers, the Family Series gives groups affordable family fun for all ages.

You have spoken and we have listened. From comments to survey responses you have told us who you want and now they are here! By popular request these artists return to the Shell Theatre with new material and shows; artists like Matthew Good and Jann Arden return and are a guaranteed great experience, and musicians like Jimmy Rankin and Tom Jackson share moments from their storied careers.

Innovative shows allow our audience to find their fit while pushing cultural boundaries. Join us for a timeless ballet classic with Canada’s Ballet Jörgen or enjoy classic rock hits re-invented with California Guitar Trio & Montreal Guitar Trio. This is your chance to see great talent close to home.

Enjoy the culture that surrounds you, in our community, just minutes away. And find your fit at Fort Saskatchewan’s entertainment gem, the Dow Centennial Centre Shell Theatre.

Enjoy the show!Mayor Gale Katchur
