Citadel Theatre has opened its doors to an audience for the first time since March with Horizon Lab.
In the Horizon Lab, they've commissioned five teams of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled creators to develop new ten-minute pieces for the Shoctor Theatre.
The first performance was held on August 28, with a second performance tonight, August 29.
100 tickets were sold to each performance to permit physical distancing in the 681-seat house.
A photo was posted on Twitter of the audience at the first performance. Check out the photo below!

The Citadel Theatre is one of the largest not-for profit theatres in North America, drawing patrons from a large geographic region that includes the greater Edmonton area as well as central and northern Alberta.
The theatre is where both Hadestown premiered ahead of its Broadway run. Six the Musical also had its Canadian premiere at Citadel.
