PRESENTS THE THEATRE CALGARY WORLD PREMIERE

A Canadian classic comes to life in this story of Robert Ross, a young man who enlists to fight in World War I. His journey takes him from Alberta to France to experience ‘the war to end all wars’. This original adaptation of the harrowing Governor General Award-winning novel makes its triumphant debut on our stage.

This important premiere marks a very personal celebration of a friend of mine who loved our country more than anyone I’ve ever met. – Dennis Garnhum

TALKBACK

After each performance of The Wars, you are invited to stay to for the TELUS TALKBACK, an opportunity to talk about the play with the cast and crew. Enjoy this rare opportunity to meet the artists and discuss what is sure to be a thought-provoking production.

Meet Kemp, a misanthropic grouch who comes to visit his ailing Aunt – maybe more for her money than her company! As the weeks go by and his patience grows thin, they learn more about each other – and about themselves. A hilarious and oddly touching black comedy by one of Canada’s most loved playwrights.

Seeing this play gives me two experiences in the theatre: laughing out loud at the outrageous characters, and feeling immense pride in one of Canada’s great plays. An impishly silly story with a great big heart.  - Dennis

Playing to sold-out houses last season, our new production astonished audiences and critics alike. We invite you to celebrate the season once again with Scrooge and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future.

George’s only love is baseball, until he begins to notice Emily next door. What begins as a simple nostalgic story of small-town America gradually transforms into moving parable of the preciousness of life. A Pulitzer Prize winner, and one of the great plays of the American theatre.

This beautiful play has an astonishing resonance to our own community. This is more than a play – it is an event that celebrates the joys and tribulations of life in any place, any town. – Dennis
 

Wouldn’t you want to trade the endless drizzle of an English winter for a sun-drenched villa in northern Italy? This is the dream of Lotty and her three new friends. What enchantments await this offbeat sisterhood – and what surprising
new relationships as well!

The magic of theatre can transform a cold Calgary night into a warm Italian spring! This play sparkles with joy, love and red wine – three of my favourite things. – Dennis

 
In a lonely castle deep in the forest lives a prince, who suffers under a magic spell that can be lifted only by a love that sees beyond surface appearances. Don’t miss Theatre Calgary’s new production of this hit Broadway musical – one of the world’s favourite stories, and a “tale as old as time”.

Live theatre – especially musical theatre – can delight you in ways that film never can. And yes, you can expect to see knives, forks, and candlesticks singing and dancing. Be our guest! – Dennis
