Badlands Amphitheatre

The Badlands Amphitheatre is a charity. We are a non-profit arts and culture venue located in the heart of the Canadian Badlands (Drumheller, Alberta – 1.5 hours NE of Calgary and 3 hours SE of Edmonton).

This 2500 seat natural amphitheatre is surrounded by spectacular scenery. The Badlands Amp is an incredible setting for live theatre shows, concerts, opera, fireworks, and outdoor movies. The Badlands Amp will soon be home to the Badlands Arts Centre and Studio – a two-story 14,000 square foot indoor creative and event space that will include a 2500 square foot studio space.

The Passion Play takes you 2000 years back in time for a dramatic portrayal of the life and death of Christ. The play takes place in a natural 2500-seat outdoor amphitheatre formed by the massive Badlands coulees. With costumes and sets based on historical data from ancient Jerusalem, the Passion Play transports audiences back to the time of Roman soldiers and peasant masses. Shows take place in the spring and summer seasons.
