Edmonton actor Julien Arnold died on Sunday night after a medical emergency during a performance of “A Christmas Carol” at the Citadel Theatre.
The Citadel’s executive director, Jessie van Rijn, and artistic director, Daryl Cloran, said in a statement on Monday that Arnold was a beloved cast member and cherished member of the Edmonton theater community.
“His presence brought joy, heart and depth to every role, and his artistic contributions — and big hugs — will be deeply missed,” they said.
They thanked the theater’s front-of-house team, medical professionals from the audience and paramedics “for their swift actions” on Sunday. The statement did not specify the cause of Arnold’s death.
Kerry Williamson, a spokesperson for Alberta Health Services, said paramedics visited the theater at approximately 8:28 p.m. on Sunday.
Despite resuscitation attempts, Arnold died in the theater.
