Alberta Ave Mummers Collective

Professional Mummers at work (and play)

Mummers Theatre (Mummery) is a tradition that goes back to the middle ages when, during Christmas, or just before Lent, serfs and peasants would dress up in “disguises” and present pageant style performances to their liege lords. The mummers tradition was prevalent throughout Europe and grew and developed many variations in different countries, changing and evolving from the middle ages to modern times.

Mummery has always been about “By the people, for the people”, so this year, in addition to creating the third in the trilogy, we are hosting a contest and inviting the public to come out and try their hand at creating a mummers play.
