Calgary Theatre Season Recap

Calgary’s theatre season closes with dazzling performances and rising stars, as critics spotlight Nikko Angelo Hinayo and Kelsey Verzotti for standout roles in “Tale of the Gifted Prince” and “The Verdict,” while Shaun Smythe and Helen Knight also earn high praise. Daniel Fong’s commanding presence in “The Brothers Paranormal” and Alice Wordsworth’s work in “The Legend of Sleep Hollow” round out the stellar lineup. “Come from Away” dazzles with local talent, and “Tale of the Gifted Prince” impresses with its blend of puppetry and music—though some wish it were shorter. Vertigo Theatre’s courtroom drama “The Verdict” marks a bold new direction, while collaborations like “A Doll’s House” between Theatre Calgary and Arts Club show the power of shared resources. ATP, led by Haysam Kadri, delivers powerhouse shows including “Wild Woman” and “Casey and Diana.” Smaller gems like Lunchbox Theatre’s “Beyond the Sea” and “Botticelli In the Fire”—which racked up 14 nominations—prove that big impact can come from small stages.
