INVESTING IN GHOST RIVER THEATRE IS INVESTING IN YOUR STORY

Ghost River Theatre is one of the rare companies that creates all its own work. Imaginative stories uniquely created and shared; human stories that matter to our audiences. Creating new work like a rich soup takes time to simmer, and innovative work - like innovation in any industry - requires lots of clever minds thinking, playing and experimenting together. Calgary is a centre of innovation in many ways, and GRT's stories are birthed out of the local experience - not imported.

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 STRUCK, The Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst, GIANT. Your help will provide us with a sustainable framework to achieve goals like:

Hiring local artists and empowering the next generation of play makers.

Offering devising courses to emerging and established theatre artists.

Keeping the lights on at our home 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?
