Citadel Theatre Presents the World Premiere of THE GARNEAU BLOCK
On March 13, 2020, days before The Garneau Block was set to open, we turned off the lights on our stages due to COVID-19.

With great joy and excitement, we welcome the World Premiere of The Garneau Block back to the Citadel, starting September 18, 2021 on the Maclab Theatre stage.

The Citadel Theatre Presents the World Premiere of THE GARNEAU BLOCK
An aspiring young journalist hides a big secret. Her parents look for a fresh start. Her best friend Jonas is stuck in the rut of late-night improv shows. Down the street, Shirley Wong grapples with allegations about her husband, the mysterious Rajinder remains an enigma to the neighbourhood, and the Perlitz house rests haunted by the events of its former inhabitants. When flyers appear around the Garneau Block inviting the community to come together and save the neighbourhood, out folds a satirical and moving story of everyday Edmontonians trying to do what Edmontonians do best: rebuild.
