Rosebud, Alberta (March 10, 2011) – “The Rosebud Mercantile, our new 10,000 square foot dining, shopping and meeting/convention space expansion has been 10 years in the making,” says Rosebud Theatre’s Executive Director Bob Davis. “Everything will be ready in time for opening night of A Bright Particular Star, our first Rosebud Opera House performance of the 2011 season.”

The facility will be an integral part of Rosebud’s renowned dining and theatre experience, the revenues of which help support the education and training of theatre artists from across Canada.”
