Review: Calgary Opera’s TOSCA embodies the many faces of betrayal.

Review: Vertigo Theatre’s THE LODGER harbours dangerous delusions of what it means to be safe
It is certainly fitting that Vertigo Theatre’s 50th anniversary season is kicking off with the world premier of a show inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1927 film. THE LODGER addresses social inequity and gender discrimination as hindrances to safety.…
Theatre Calgary’s LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a show you want to Seymour of!

Review: Theatre Calgary’s COME FROM AWAY nourishes your heart and soul
I cannot express how transformative Theatre Calgary's performance of 'Come From Away' is and how I wish everyone would have the opportunity to experience it. Almost every performance is sold out and extra days are slowly being added to accommodate the demand. I suspect the power of positive Canadian…
