How do I start to describe one of the most understated venues in Calgary?
Lunchbox theatre is simply an amazing way to spend your lunch hour! The set up is simple, the price is fair, and the opportunity to watch emerging artists instead if sitting in one of the +15s with thousands of stressed out Calgarians is priceless!
This theatre is celebrating 40 years in 2015, and that is no easy task! Think of what Calgary looked like in 1975 and try to imagine how a boutique theatre can still be around through multiple recessions.
I highly recommend that you take one lunch out of your busy schedule and give this theatre a shot! Pack your own lunch and enjoy the entertainment!
Quick Review on current show: Camp Victoria is a story of 3 women in Northern Canada in the late 1800's during the gold rush. They end up lost with an injured soldier and the adventures they go through in the woods. It's a very entertaining story watching these ladies justifying their use of 'medicinal' whiskey to fend off wolves and other sounds in the night.
Try to get to the theatre while this show is still on, it's worth it!
