Forte Musical Theatre Guild

Forte Musical Theatre Guild (Forte) is a company on the leading edge of musical theatre in Canada. We are the only professional company west of Toronto dedicated exclusively to new musicals and, with our stable of established and emerging artists, we create engaging and intimate evenings of award-winning entertainment. Forte also creates educational and professional development opportunities for students, writers and young professionals to gain experience in this dynamic art form.

Forte aims to be a global force in new musicals and took our first step in this direction by staging a five-time award winning production at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2013. Funny, cheeky and sometime subversive, Forte’s shows leave you with a tune in your heart and a smile on your face.

Our Mission:
We develop and produce socially relevant new musicals which engage audiences while cultivating professional development opportunities for musical theatre artists.

Our Vision:
Calgary is recognized internationally as a unique incubator for new musicals, and a place where musical theatre artists choose to live and stay.

Forte strives to reflect our diverse society in its productions and encourages artists of all ethnicities and cultures to apply to work for our company.
