About Us

Tree House Youth Theatre was created in 1988, and was the brainchild of Richard O’Brien who was head of the Theatre Arts Program at Red Deer College (RDC) in Red Deer, Alberta. The aim of the program was to build theatrical interest and foster skills in the young people of Central Alberta. The mandate of Tree House is to create meaningful theatre that challenges not only our performers and technicians, but also our audiences. Tree House Youth Theatre is a not-for-profit charitable organization, creating extraordinary theatrical experiences for young performers in Central Alberta.

Registration for our winter term is now closed. Registration for our Fall 2020 Term will begin in June 2020.
