About Us

In our operations and management at West Village Theatre, we hold the following values:

We want people to feel at home to work, play, and experiment at West Village Theatre. We approach our community relationships with a spirit of generosity and we strive be an organization that says “yes” whenever possible and to support our guests in finding alternatives whenever it isn’t. We work with grace, understanding, and empathy. We commit to hosting a brave space that honours the complex and rich humanity of our community. We are good neighbours and take ownership of our community role in the neighbourhood of Sunalta, the city of Calgary, and the larger performing arts community.  We approach our responsibilities with a spirit of partnership, mutual care and respect of each other. 

West Village Theatre is a place of connection. We celebrate our theatre as site of radical artistic empathy, and embrace the power of performance to build bridges of understanding, love, spirituality, and meaning. We create belonging with each other, with artists, with audiences, and with the larger community.  

West Village Theatre is a unique space within the artistic ecology of Calgary. We are in service to our community by offering space to rent for artists and the public to witness, learn, gather, grow, create, rehearse and perform.  We understand that versatility is key to the service we provide, and therefore eagerly adapt to shifts in culture, design, advancing technologies, and new and different ways of expressing the theatrical space.

West Village Theatre holds a space of magic and possibility within our community. We champion the transformative power of theatre for both artists and audiences, welcoming emerging and established artists to evolve and grow their practice in our space. We acknowledge the intersection of art and audience as essential to our space of creation – to the aliveness of the space.
