The Alberta Avenue Mummers Collective and the Albertavia Mumming Trilogy
Abstract
The Alberta Avenue Mummers Collective grew out of the 2009 Deep Freeze Festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The Deep Freeze Winter Festival is a free family event that brings together the Ukrainian, Franco-Albertan, Franco-African, First Nations, and Acadian/East Coast communities to revel in the magic and beauty of winter. The Mummers Collective created and presented their first work "Knighty Knight" in 2009. In 2010, they followed it up with "Fool Tom Fool". The third in their trilogy was "This Belle Troll's for Thee" and all are published as the Albertavia Mumming Trilogy.
