A Ticket to All I Want for Christmas at Lunchbox Theatre
Celebrate Christmas early with this comedy show by Rebecca Northan, running from November 30 – December 19, 2021. Our Artistic Associate, Ali DeRegt, can be seen in this play, as Ginger – “the only elf in North Pole history who has been fired from every job she’s tried.” (Recommended for ages 12+)
Family Theatre Fun
Going to a theatrical performance is a great family tradition to build. We’ve got a couple of shows that you may want to add to your holiday celebrations!
Theatre Themed Jewellery
For that fashionable theatre lover, consider giving them a theatre mask piece of jewellery. Etsy is a wonderful place to find small Canadian businesses with handmade jewellery – such as these theatre mask earrings, theatre themed necklaces, or theatre mask ring.
Coffee Beans for the Overworked Artist
Give the gift of energy with a bag of coffee beans from a local Calgary coffee shop, like a bag of beans from Heritage Roasting Company, or beans and something stronger kit from Rosso Coffee Roasters.
Encourage a young performer with a book
Encourage that young performer with Lulu The Broadway star. This book, written by actress Jenna Gavigan, is the perfect way to inspire a young person to pursue their dreams of being on stage.
Create magical shadow puppet shows
Adventure in a Box creates beautiful shadow puppets to satisfy your storytelling needs. Tell your favourite fairy tale on Christmas morning with puppets made in Prince Edward Island.
Play this family-friendly game that encourages creativity and play. Created by the creators of Exploding Kittens, it’s called the game for people who are bad at charades and is perfect for adults and kids alike.
