Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre

The facility was built through the collaborative efforts of the City of Camrose and the University of Alberta. Built with the community in mind.

Camrose's premiere destination for live performances, dedicated to inspiring a deep appreciation for the arts and enriching our community through exceptional cultural experiences. Built within a collaborative framework

Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is a unique performing arts venue located on the beautiful, historic University of Alberta’s’ Augustana Campus in the heart of the pr

ovince. It was conceived of as a performance space to celebrate our cultural achievements and provide access to the performing arts for the community. The overall design for the building included a great deal of attention not only to what the community was envisioning for the space but also towards sustainability for the future. The theatre is home to the largest integrated photovoltaic array,(solar panels), which blanket the entire 70’fly-tower, including the North face, and is the first theatre in North America to use entirely LED lighting, including the stage lights, on the interior and exterior of the building. For details about other green features of the building, click here. Built to accommodate performances and events; big or small

The Cargill Theatre seats 580 on two sloped floors, yet retains an intimacy which will provide audiences with a closer connection to the artist and provide the artist an opportunity to connect on a deeper level with the audience. The sound, lighting and projection systems are state of the art and will provide every visitor, in every seat a memorable live performance experience

The Mayer Family Community Hall provides alternative space for many different kinds of events. The hall, which also boasts a sprung floor, can be configured to accommodate between 135 and 200 people seated, either at tables or theatre style. It can be used for smaller scale performances, receptions, conferences, or rehearsals. This is a space which can be rented and configured to suit any need! Built for the future

The theatre is a proud declaration of who the city is today and who they want to be moving into the future.

Laugh Out Loud with the Dad Who Cracks the Code of Joy!
presented by Brendan McLeod

Catch The Joy on four different dates – October 8 through the 11 at 7:00PM!

This performance is part of the Special Presentations.

About the Show

Prepare for an evening of insightful laughter with Brendan McLeod’s “The Joy,” a unique and hilarious comedy that delves into a dad’s unexpected love affair with data and his child’s wonderfully diverse reactions to music. This isn’t just a stand-up routine; it’s a witty exploration: How does a baby react to hearing Whitney Houston for the first time? How about Metallica, or Bach? In this funny, moving storytelling show, JUNO-nominated musician and acclaimed theatre creator Brendan McLeod recounts his newborn daughter’s reactions to the first 1000 songs of her life. In doing so, he breaks down everything from how our body processes music, to how different cultures communicate, to how James Brown learned to dance. Ultimately THE JOY is about the importance of music and family—a tribute to all the things we feel in our heart when we listen with our ears.

The Ultimate Comedy for Music Lovers (and Data Nerds!): Brendan McLeod’s ‘The Joy.
