Mike's family has season tickets to Theater Calgary, so we end up seeing a few shows per season. We enjoy supporting the arts scene in Calgary. It can be a bit confusing to figure out where your seat is, but the ushers are friendly and knowledgable, so ask them to point you in the right direction. The seats are tight on leg room, so if you are a taller guy, you may want to try for an aisle seat.
One of the new features that they are promoting this year is pre-purchased intermission drinks. In the past, long line ups would form at the concession kiosks, and unless you had the speed and stealth of a ninja, it was difficult to even purchase a drink during the 20 minute break. If you also had to use the washroom, you had to forget about even trying! Now, before the show starts, you can order and pay for your beverage. My favorite part is that during the intermission, they set out everyone's pre-purchased drinks on a big table with your name on them. Picking them up is completely honor system based - there is no checking of receipt or anything. The honor system may not work in some settings, but it seems to work well with the upstanding folks who attend theater Calgary!
There are always a wide variety of topics for the plays each season, so check out the offerings... Something is sure to appeal to you!
