Ghost River Theatre

Ghost River Theatre is an award-winning 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, premiering our work in Calgary and then touring it nationally and internationally. Our work embraces a hybrid of high-tech visual spectacle with low-fi theatrical magic.

Over our 27-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 Tomorrow’s Child amongst many others. 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 Calgary, Alberta, and Canada’s theatre community.

As a cultural leader, Ghost River Theatre runs and co-manages the West Village Theatre, an 80-seat black box performance and administrative space located in the SunAlta area of Calgary.
