The Rosebud Theatre and School of the Arts has the privilege of using
many of Rosebud's historic buildings. The three course buffet is set in one of the old
general stores (The Mercantile 1914) with Hakayne addition that make the culinary efforts
so inspiring to the taste buds as well as housing the Box Office and classroom, meeting
and special occasion space. The Opera House, where the main stage performances occur is
the 1946 Memorial Hall transformed into a modern theatre. The theatre and school offices
are in the 1914 era Rosebud Hotel where so much colourful history took place.

students has transformed into a hands–on post–secondary THEATRE school with Certificate, Diploma and Fellowship qualifications.
By the end of the full course of studies, students put on a full fledged production under staff mentorship encompassing all aspects
from choosing a play, renting a venue, raising the money to fund, costuming, set and casting.
