🚨 YOUR CHANCE: ONE SPOT REMAINING! 🚨

Could this be your summer?

We have one single opening for Ghost River Theatre's 3-Week National Devised Theatre Intensive (June 1–20, 2026).

This is your invitation to re-centre the artist in the act of creation. Guided by Ghost River Theatre practicioners, you will dive deep into a process that unlocks your body, imagination, and intuition to generate material and craft.

The 3-Week Journey: 🌱 Week 1 (Foundation): Principles, play, and process. 🔥 Week 2 (Generation): Material creation and exploration. 🎭 Week 3 (Assembly & Sharing): Shaping, refining, and presenting your work.

This is an intense immersion. Expect hard work, daily homework, and a supportive yet challenging environment where you'll push your artistic boundaries. It's not just a class—it's a transformation in how you create.

Don't let this opportunity slip away. If you are ready to commit fully to the work and join a dedicated cohort, we want to hear from you immediately.

FRONTIER, Ghost River Theatre's newest production, opened last night and the performance by Jamie Konchak, Heather Pattengale and Daniela Vlaskalic was incredibly powerful:

"Brooding and beautiful, this brave physical performance plumbs the depths of the female experience on the western frontier."
Karen Hines

"Haunting and beautiful"
"Intense and beautiful"
"Life affirming and beautifully moving"
-described opening night audiences.

FRONTIER is a riveting epic of survival set against the raw, untamed backdrop of 1800s Alberta. Pursued by dangers real and imagined, a woman races through shadows, dragging her skirts upriver through the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Canadian wilderness.

On now until May 2nd at West Village Theatre.

is thrilled to unveil our newest production, Frontier, co-created by award-winning artists Jamie Konchak and Eric Rose and devised by an all-star team of Calgary theatre makers.

FRONTIER is a new, devised theatre production set against the raw, untamed backdrop of the foothills of 1800s Alberta, Canada. Nameless, a woman races through shadows of the merciless woods, dragging her grief skirt up river, driven by the ghosts that haunt her. As she navigates the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Canadian wilderness, she confronts not only the physical dangers of the frontier but also the mythic transformations of her identity.

Join us for the World Premiere of this powerful performance, exploring the tension between vulnerability and strength, truth and myth.
