NOTE: We have reached our submission quota for October - please check back December 1st when we plan to reopen submissions. Thank you!

It is important for you, the playwright, to understand that Theatre Calgary’s producing aims are to stimulate, provoke, and delight through ambitious programming; to stand amongst the best theatres globally as a leader in innovation, impactful, and diverse programming. If you are looking for context before you submit, please look at what we have produced over the last five years, found at https://www.theatrecalgary.com/archive/. You will see we produce 6-8 shows each season that range from intimate small-cast contemporary pieces to theatrical “classics” to large scale Broadway-style musicals.

We are seeking new plays & musicals that aim to ignite local, national, and international engagement. We are looking for strong voices and compelling stories with large scale theatricality and wide appeal.

If this is the kind of play or musical you are writing, send it to us!
Please download the guidelines for submissions (below).

We look forward to reading your work!

Many thanks,

Anna Cummer

Associate Artistic Director
Theatre Calgary
