SUPPORT NORTHERN LIGHT THEATRE
NLT's 2025-2026 Season
Something old, something new, a great big party, and something blue!
The 2025-26 season marks the 50th year of Northern Light Theatre presenting challenging, controversial, and critically-acclaimed performances to the Edmonton theatre community and beyond. From our origin as a lunchtime theatre in the basement of the AGA, through our time exploring multimedia performance art pieces in found spaces, through our many years in the old church building dubbed Third Space, to our current home performing in the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns — NLT has continued to evolve, change, and grow with the support of our audiences, media, sponsors, donors, volunteers, artists, board, and friends.
50 years sounds... old, doesn't it? No wonder no one likes to say it out loud when asked their age. Fifty has become the unspeakable "F" word. Oh, I know — we're meant to be rebranding 50 as the new 40, or some such nonsense in order to make us feel better about it. But fifty years is… well, pretty impressive, actually, when we think about it. Because it's not just 50 years of age.
In honour of our 50 years, we are adapting an old wedding adage — Something old, something new, a great big party, and something blue. A return of an old favorite, a brand new holiday play, a celebration of NLT, and a performance piece that is a little bit sad.
