Ghost River Theatre is a devised theatre company that creates, develops and mounts original productions through a significant investment in imaginative research and development. We make our work in a rigorous, supportive, collaborative-creation environment that recognizes and utilizes the unique abilities of all participants. We premiere our work in Calgary and then tour it nationally and internationally. Our work embraces a hybrid of high tech visual spectacle with low-fi theatrical magic. As Stephen Hunt of The Calgary Herald stated, “Ghost River does more with less money than any other theatre group since those Cirque du Soleil guys were busking on the streets of Old Montreal.” Check out our promo videos at https://vimeo.com/ghostrivertheatre

INVESTING IN GHOST RIVER THEATRE IS INVESTING IN YOUR STORY

Over our 24 year history, our unique creation process has yielded an impressive roster of critically acclaimed productions: Mesa, Eye for an Eye, ONE, The Highest Step in the World, The Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst and many more. GRT has created and toured some of the most thoughtful, daring, imaginative, and seemingly impossible work that this country has produced. With a keen desire to create, to engage and to push the boundaries of live performance GRT has established itself firmly as a leader in the Calgary, Alberta, and national cultural ecologies.

Ghost River Theatre needs the financial support of people like you to continue to take significant innovative leaps with productions like The Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst or to tackle new stories like GIANT about wrestler André René Roussimoff. Your help will provide us with a sustainable framework to achieve goals like:

Hiring local emerging artists to spark the next generation of play makers

Offering discounted tickets for our Student Matinee Series.

Keeping the lights on at our new venue the West Village Theatre and helping to keep our community rental rates low.

Giving our talented artists the vital time they need to create and develop new and innovative stories.

Ghost River Theatre is a small and ambitious company, but without your collaboration, our ambition will only take us halfway. We need your help in making tailor-made works for Calgary. Will you help us continue telling our story by contributing to our work?
