Have “Patience” – Spring is Nearly Here!
For the first time since Covid, we are presenting a single spring production! While we are sad that we cannot offer our audiences additional opportunities to support community theatre in Calgary, we are quite relieved to be able to focus on only 1 show instead of 2 (or 3 or 4!). Join us at the Pumphouse Apr 24 – May 2 for Gilbert & Sullivan’s Patience – check out the cast list HERE!
*Patience is seeking a Lighting Designer (or Aspiring Lighting Designer). If you are interested in learning, we also have Mentorship opportunities available! Please email colleen.bishop@gmail.com
Workshops on the Way!
Our spring workshop session is in full swing, and we have 3 great workshops coming up! All 3 of these workshops are sponsored by Theatre Alberta with funding from The Alberta Foundation for the Arts as part of the ‘Workshops by Request: Hometown Series’, and we are so grateful that we can work with them!
- Apr 11 – Auditioning with Claire Preuss
- Apr 25 – Intro to Character Development with Daniela Vlaskalic
- May 30 – Intro to Directing with Kathryn Smith
