Celebrated but impetuous film director Guido Contini, succumbing to the pressures of filming his latest film epic (a musical version of the Casanova story), suffers a midlife crisis. One by one, women from his past and present – including his mother, his wife, his mistress, and his leading lady – haunt, instruct, scold, seduce and encourage him until he finally learns to grow up.
A tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man’s eternal love affair with… golf.
In Torch Song – the two-act revival of Harvey Fierstein’s award-winning Torch Song Trilogy – the life of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish drag queen living in New York City, is dramatized over the span of the late 1970s and 1980s. Told with a likable, human voice, Torch Song follows Arnold’s odyssey to find happiness in New York. All he wants is a husband, a child, and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, but a visit from his overbearing mother reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.

Slicked-back hair, leather jackets, and rock ’n’ roll rule the halls. Grease brings the energy, style, and sound of the 1950s roaring to life with the hot-rodding Burger Palace Boys and the fearless, gum-snapping Pink Ladies strutting through the school in bobby socks and pedal pushers.
At the centre of it all are Danny and Sandy, trying to rekindle their whirlwind summer romance in the very different world of high school. As friendships spark and rivalries flare, the gang sings and dances their way through hits like “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin’,” and “You’re the One That I Want.” on a journey to figure out who they really want to be!
Fast-paced, funny, and bursting with nostalgia, Grease is a celebration of youth, rebellion, and first love. With its record-breaking Broadway run, smash-hit film adaptation, and countless productions around the world, this musical has become a cultural phenomenon.
Based on the classic film by Frank Capra, It’s A Wonderful Life has been delighting audiences on the silver screen and in theatres since it debuted in 1943. December just doesn’t seem complete without a trip to Bedford Falls and the story of George Bailey, a man who believes in building community and helping your neighbours. When he becomes overwhelmed by one misfortune after another, George almost gives in to despair and then, on Christmas Eve, he meets a special angel on a mission to help George and receive his wings. The timeless message of hope, love and charity is especially warming on winter evenings with family and friends close-by. We hope you and yours will come celebrate this classic piece and this special time with us.

The Grand Duke; or, The Statutory Duel, is the final Savoy Opera written by librettist W. S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan, their fourteenth and last opera together. In The Grand Duke, Gilbert and Sullivan come full circle, back to the theme of their first collaboration, Thespis: a troupe of actors taking political power. The plot hinges on the mis-interpretation of a 100-year-old law regarding statutory duels (decided by drawing cards). The baffled leading comedian of the troupe, Ludwig, spearheads the rebellion against the hypochondriac, miserly Grand Duke and becomes engaged to four different women before the plot is resolved. The frugality and phoniness of the wealthy classes and the nobility are lampooned.
A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime for Hitler”), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
Launched in 2005 by Sage Theatre, the IGNITE! Festival for Emerging Artists was created to address a need in Calgary’s arts environment: meaningful opportunities for early‑career artists to present their work professionally.
For nearly 20 years, IGNITE! has become a pillar of Sage Theatre’s mandate and a cornerstone of the city’s performing arts community.
Dive under the sea and into one of the most beloved stories of all time. Disney’s The Little Mermaid, inspired by the timeless tale by Hans Christian Andersen and the iconic animated film, is a swoon-worthy adventure about love, longing, and finding where you truly belong.
Featuring unforgettable music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a vibrant book by Doug Wright, this fan-favourite musical is packed with songs you know and love — from “Under the Sea” to “Part of Your World” and “Kiss the Girl.”
At the heart of the story is Ariel, King Triton’s curious and adventurous youngest daughter, who dreams of life beyond the sea. When she falls for the human Prince Eric, she makes a risky deal with the sea witch Ursula, trading her fins for legs — but magic always comes with a price. With the help of her loyal (and delightfully opinionated) friends Flounder, Sebastian, and Scuttle, Ariel must race against time to set things right and follow her heart.
A story about bravery, curiosity, and daring to want more, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a splash of magic for dreamers of all ages.
