We’re in the Edmonton Journal twice! 📰✨

It’s an exciting week at The Roxy, and we’re thrilled to see both our new Artistic Director, Jenna Rodgers, and our first Mainstage production of the season, OH, ANNE!, featured in the Edmonton Journal.

Jenna sat down with the Journal to talk about stepping into her new role at Theatre Network and what’s ahead for our 2026/27 Roxy Remixed season.

And playwright, director and performer Bridget Ryan is sharing the story behind OH, ANNE!, her funny, heartfelt and very personal new spin on Anne of Green Gables, hitting The Roxy stage next week.

Because Facebook doesn’t currently allow Canadian news links to be shared, we can’t link you directly to the articles here, but both can be found over at the Edmonton Journal!

A pretty great way to kick off a new season. ❤️

A note from our Artistic Director 💌

“September always brings back-to-school energy. New schedules lead to new routines and an infusion of fresh energy to welcome the autumn leaves. I hope you all had a restful summer and are excited to join us back at the Roxy Theatre this fall. I am personally delighted to be welcoming you to our season, which kicks off in just two days!

On September 10th, we are hosting an open house which aligns with the 124 Street Market. Come on down to the Roxy Theatre from 4pm-7pm for free building tours, lemonade, and a rotation of talented performers from our upcoming season. This open house culminates in the launch of a brand new Jason Carter exhibit: Coast to Coast to Coast. This exhibit is part of our Peck Visual Arts program with the Miller Gallery and will run until October 18th, so be sure to check it out while you can! The gallery is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 1pm-5pm.

The following week we are opening OH ANNE! on September 17th, which marks the launch of Theatre Network’s 52nd season. This show promises to be a fun and lively welcome back to the theatre for our fantastic audiences. Thank you to all of you for making the arts a part of your life, and for considering Theatre Network as part of your upcoming fall plans!

See you at the theatre,”

Today’s Artist Feature: Sarah Dolman!

Sarah Dolman (she/her) is a dancer, choreographer, director, and arts administrator originally from Vancouver Island, BC. Now based in Edmonton, AB, she is a recent graduate of BA Drama honors program at the University of Alberta, and believes, through her movement practice, that theatre is a catalyst for collaboration, self-discovery, and body-positivity. Sarah is classically trained in all dance styles, including tap, ballet, contemporary, and hip hop, but also values improvisation and finding new ways to see staging and technical theatre. Select credits include: Executive Director (New Works Festival, 2025), President/Vice President/Risk Management Officer/ASM (MOD Contemporary Dance Company, 2023/24/25/26), Director/"The Piano Lesson" (NWF, 2026).

"Vanitas" is a type of still life painting representing the morality and transcendence of life, pleasure, and death.
This piece is an exploration of the human body as a brush on a canvas, and the various colours of life one goes through. By creating a painting live onstage, this dance asks the audience what the point of art is within our lives: What and who do we create for? And, what is worth leaving behind when we are gone?

See Sarah in Dance @ Nextfest program 3: Dance In Progress, on June 9th at 5:00pm and June 11th at 4:00pm in Lorne Cardinal Theatre.
