Meet Trevor Watson — the technician who would very much prefer to stay behind the scenes.

His job in Peter Pan Goes Wrong should be simple: manage the technical side of the production and keep the show running. But as things start falling apart, Trevor gets pulled further and further into the action.

He may not be trying to steal the spotlight, but somehow, the spotlight keeps finding him.

Would the Dashwood sisters really be that different if they lived in 2026?

More than 200 years after Jane Austen published Sense and Sensibility, her stories still feel surprisingly familiar. Austen helped shape the modern novel by putting everyday relationships, social expectations, money, marriage, and women’s choices at the centre of her stories.

Elinor leads with logic and keeps her feelings private. Marianne follows her emotions and isn’t afraid to show them. Put them in 2026, and we’d probably still recognize both sisters — and maybe see a little of ourselves in each of them.

That’s what keeps Sense and Sensibility relevant: the world has changed, but navigating love, family, expectations, and our own emotions hasn’t changed quite as much.

EXPERIENCE:
JANE AUSTEN’S CLASSIC LOVE STORY.

Jane Austen’s beloved classic comes to life on the Theatre Calgary stage for the very first time in a delightful new adaptation. When the Dashwood sisters are left with little to their name, sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne must navigate the complicated world of society, reputation, and courtship—each guided by her own heart and instincts.

Filled with wit, romance, and keen observations of human nature, Sense & Sensibility is a charming and heartfelt story about love, resilience, and the balance between reason and emotion.

Meet the Dashwood sisters — Elinor and Marianne.

They approach life and love very differently. Elinor leads with reason and keeps her emotions close, while Marianne follows her heart and feels everything openly.

But through heartbreak, change, and plenty of complicated relationships, their bond keeps them grounded. Sense and Sensibility is as much a story about sisterhood as it is about romance — and Elinor and Marianne are at the centre of it all.

EXPERIENCE:
THE THIN LINE BETWEEN ORDER AND CHAOS.

Sam Shepard’s gripping modern classic explores sibling rivalry, identity, and the fragile promise of the American dream. When disciplined screenwriter Austin’s quiet work retreat is interrupted by his estranged brother Lee, a drifter and petty thief, their reunion ignites a volatile struggle for recognition, success, and control. As Hollywood ambition and long-buried resentments collide, the line between creation and destruction begins to blur.

Raw, darkly funny, and psychologically charged, True West exposes the tensions that lie beneath family bonds and the myths we tell ourselves about who we are. This production features Calgary brothers Joe Perry and Stafford Perry, both returning to the Theatre Calgary stage to bring Shepard’s iconic sibling rivalry to life.

EXPERIENCE:
THE MUSICAL THAT BITES BACK.

“Feed me Seymour!” In this deviously delightful blend of comedy, romance, and rock ’n’ roll, timid shop assistant Seymour discovers a mysterious plant with a taste for blood. As the plant grows, so do the stakes, leading to a darkly comic tale about ambition, love, and the price of getting what you wish for.

Featuring an unforgettable score inspired by 1960s pop, doo-wop, and Motown, this cult favourite musical is equal parts charm and bite. We’re thrilled to welcome audiences to Skid Row as this cult classic creeps onto the Theatre Calgary stage.
