Some notes: New Kinkonauts participate in Conservatory classes. They run weekly on Monday evenings from October to April. You will learn to play the Kinkonauts style of longform in a cohort-based, workshop format, developing your skills under the instruction of Kinkonauts directors. Because we are cohort-based attendance is very important. It is a FREE program but in exchange for the in-depth training, a minimum volunteer commitment is required. You will be required to volunteer once a month for the duration of the program (Fridays or Sundays from 6:30pm-9pm)
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Kelsey Schoen at Kelsey@kinkonauts.com AND Jordan Lane Jordan@kinkonauts.com.
Embark on the captivating odyssey of Wuthering Frights, a unique theatrical experience which catapults you into the heart of an improvised gothic play, where every twist and turn is a creation of the moment. Who knows what will be encountered within the shadowy realms of our narrative - vampires that stalk the night, lingering ghosts that whisper untold tales, eccentric family members confined to the secret attics.
Watch the cast perform at the Calgary Fringe Festival, August 1-9, 2025.
From the team that brought you “Game Show 33”, and “Challenging Destiny: An Erotic Thriller” comes APT 33, a high energy late-night kids show for adults.
APT 33 explores what happens when real life couple, James and Bonnie, attempt to host a sugar-high talk show. Together with their singing Fish, they navigate a world where Pee-Wee’s Playhouse meets Sartre’s No Exit, and Landlords demand the rent in the rarest commodity: Knowledge.
There will be top-notch Guests, Songs, Existential Quandaries, Adulting, TV/VCR Repair, Magic, Games, Satchels, and other Duties as Required. The Apartment is Fake, but the Relationship is Real.
