Rosebud has the privilege of housing the Rosebud Theatre and School of the Arts in many of its historic buildings. The three course buffet is set in one of the old general stores (The Mercantile 1914) with an amazing 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 of colourful history took place.

What began as an alternative High School in the fall of 1977 with only seven students has transformed into a hands–on post–secondary 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.
