Rosebud Opera House

Beginning its life as a grain annex, the Rosebud Opera House was moved to this location in 1948 to serve as a community hall. In the 1970’s, it began to be used by Rosebud School of the Arts for classes and meetings. In 1984, it was rechristened the Opera House, and became the main venue for Rosebud Theatre. After renovations in the early 1990’s, the Opera House now has 220-fixed seats with a maximum capacity of 232 and hosts over 200 performances a year.
Rosebud Mercantile

Once home to the Rosebud general store, the Mercantile was purchase by Rosebud Camp of the Arts in the early 1970’s as a retreat centre. It eventually began to house students, classrooms and the school cafeteria. With the first theatre show in 1983, the Mercantile began to host patrons with regular expansions as Rosebud Theatre began to grown. A major building project was completed in 2011 for the Mercantile’s 100th anniversary. It now contains six-themed rooms and a sun deck for the dinner theatre, Rosebud Gifts & Crafts, a 32-seat restaurant (Wild Horse Jack’s), and the Encana Conference Centre.
