As the World Burns – YQL’s Unscripted Soap Opera
Like sands through the hourglass… so are the unscripted tales of Lethbridge’s Unscripted Soap Opera. Sometimes bold, often beautiful and always filled with more intrigue, romance, scandal and mystery than you can handle – the ImpromptOu Players are bringing back their character driven narratives seen in all the past seasons of Gomorrah with a brand-new name!
Each season features a unifying theme and returning characters, but with a unique story from episode to episode so that you can join for a single night or the whole season. From westerns to melodrama, from deserted islands to crime procedurals, no genre or setting is safe from being parodied in this show!
Season 13: Cryptic Cryptids
September to December 2024
Episode 2: Winged Prophecies
Whether it’s the way the shadows move in the forest, or an urban legend about a lake monster, the dynamic duo of Cryptic Cryptids is there to respond to a call to investigate all the things that go bump in the night. Join each month for a new adventure as they travel the world to either provide irrefutable proof of the most illusive cryptids, or show that the skepticism was right along.
Organizer
Founded in late 2018, Good Times Lethbridge Comedy Club is dedicated to an optimistic vision to create a safe place in Lethbridge where family and friends can unite through unforgettable moments.
Located in the heart of Downtown, we offer a variety of entertainment unlike any pubs nearby. Known most for our Friday & Saturday Night Comedy shows, our basement brick walls help ensure that your chuckles soon become a riot while the limited seating capacity provides everyone with an intimate performance. At any other venue, this would be called “VIP”. If you are only familiar with stand-up comedy through Netflix Specials or over-sized theaters, then this unique sensory experience is a must.
While we serve a diverse crowd, we pride ourselves on being a couple’s hangout, birthdays, tourist destination, and party hub for businesses looking to inject more fun into their culture.
We run professional Comedy Shows on the weekend while we host Open Mic, Ladies Night, and special events during the week. The club opens at 7:30pm. Come laugh with us, enjoy a cold drink and some delicious popcorn, and start letting the good times roll.
– The Good Guys
Theatre Outré is unusual and unexpected, startling and subversive, bizarre and bold, extravagant and evocative. Theatre Outré creates, produces, and presents theatre that is queer in either form or subject, an alternative to what is offered in the mainstream. We strive to entertain and provoke audiences with a combination of new works or reimagining classical canonical plays through an Outré lens.
Our programming and operations are motivated by the following guiding principles: We provide an uncensored, uplifting, and uncompromising voice to those in our community who are often considered to exist beyond the fringes of social propriety, sexual norms and gendered expectations.
Our goal is to make a concerted effort to employ Queer (2SLGBTQIA+) artists, artists who choose to live, work or study in the Lethbridge area, and Albertan artists. We strive to make our work and the artists we hire known to communities outside of Lethbridge through tours and other forms of inter-community outreach.
