2013 TransALTA interPLAY Festival: Mark Your Calendars!


Events Wood Buffalo is sending a friendly reminder to all residents of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo to mark your calendars, plan to stay in town and get ready for the 23rd annual TransALTAinterPLAY festival!

On the heels of the YMM Canada Day announcements, this year’s interPLAY festival is also gearing towards a local theme of community pride and showcasing the talents we have in our backyard. In saying this, we are looking for performers, artists, volunteers and much more as submissions for interPLAY events are now available.

The popular Marketplace is also back for another year to showcase local artists and artisans. Residents can view and purchase local goods such as clothing, art, accessories and much more. To be a part of this year’s Marketplace, please complete the form at, www.inter-play.ca.   

The 8th annual Suncor Homegrown Talent Competition is looking for the best vocals Fort McMurray has. If you think you have what it takes to be the number 1 singer in the region, please register yourself or your band at, www.inter-play.ca, and EWB staff will contact successful applicants by July 12. The Suncor Homegrown Talent Competition will take place the last three days of interPLAY, August 9-11 at the Keyano Theatre.

If acting and the theatre are more your lifestyle, interPLAY will be taking over all three spaces at the Keyano Theatre & Arts Centre, August 9-11, for a three-day set of performances. Those residents interested in performing and being involved in the different plays, including fringe theatre and cabaret, are asked to fill out the submission form at, www.inter-play.ca.   

If music and the theatre and not your forte, we are also looking for busker performers! Whether your talent is dancing, miming or fire-breathing unicycling, we want you! Register your talent or team at, www.inter-play.ca and successful applicants will be contacted for further information.


And if music, theatre and buskers are not your area of expertise, we’re also looking for volunteers to make this year’s interPLAY the best yet! Volunteers will be needed in all three Keyano Theatres, the KidsPLAY Zone and much more!

The festival will take place from August 2-11 at the Keyano Theatre and Doug MacRae Park on King Street. Stayed tuned for new and exciting announcements coming soon! For more information, visit, www.inter-play.ca.
