In ancient Greece, audiences would stamp their feet instead of clapping to show appreciation.

Theatre Calgary was founded on July 1, 1968 and was Calgary's first professional theatre company. Our first Artistic Director was Christopher Newton.

Each season Theatre Calgary selects one high school drama department in the Calgary area to partner with as our High School in Residence.

In collaboration with the teacher, we create a unique and engaging opportunity that builds upon the education and experience they're already receiving. Some benefits include: behind-the-scenes access to the first day of rehearsal for each of our shows, backstage tours, access to dress rehearsals and workshops at the school.

The call for applications for the 2020 High School in Residence will be in Spring 2020.

The High School in Residence for 2019/20 is Henry Wise Wood High School.
