It's a given that we are in challenging times!
The arts are important to Albertans because the arts act as a bridge that bring divided people together. We believe that this year, more than any other, we need that. Its been a difficult and challenging time for many people due to the corona virus pandemic - with lots of political strife, lots of disagreements, and lots of fighting. The arts have unique way of bringing about a sense of community and connecting people in a way that would otherwise not see themselves as neighbours.
Our organization would not be where it is today without the support from our loyal fans, followers and over two hundred volunteer actors and alumni throughout the past quarter century. Because of this support, we continue to give back to the community that gave to us.
What can you do to support Break-A-Leg Theatre moving forward?

Break-A-Leg Theatre and the COVID pandemic
The Toys Take Over Christmas kicks off 25th Anniversary Season
Break-A-Leg Theatre Arts is pleased to announce that the Jr. Drama production of The Toys Take Over Christmas will launch their 25th Anniversary Season just in time for the Christmas season! Registrations for the Jr. program began in September and rehearsals are now underway!
The Toys Take Over Christmas cast consists of:
The hardhearted toymaker refuses to sell any of the dolls he makes, but his magic made them almost like real children and they want to escape the workshop and have fun with other children. The toys are wonderfully varied. There's prim Tina, the fashion-plate doll; a tomboy clown who is so afraid of the toymaker that she agrees with everything he says; and the rag doll Sunny whose legs were badly stuffed so she's always on the verge of falling down and has to be helped up by the gallant wooden soldier. Now the toys are in revolt against the toymaker, and when they find a jar of hearts, they pin one on him. Zowie—the heart does its stuff!
