REVIEW: Twelve Days brings Christmas joy to lunchtime in Calgary 

Watching Twelve Days is reminiscent of opening up the door to a chocolate advent calendar: yes, you know what you’re gonna get, but heck if you don’t enjoy every second of it.

Want to see a magic show about race? Wait, what?

You’d be forgiven for the double-take. It’s a fairly common reaction when I tell folks about my work as a magician.

Speaking in Draft: Emily Jung

"I want theatre to be so ingrained in everyone's day-to-day life, that it becomes natural to go see a show that's happening locally,” says Jung. “It should be an integral part of society for people to be able to access a cultural space, go there, and experience something that energizes them."
