Programming is driven by intersectionality and selected from the finest Canadian and international plays and new works commissioned and developed in-house. Our productions radically explore our space, blurring the line between the audience and the artist through multiple seating configurations each season.

The 2019-20 Season received outstanding reviews from theatre-goers and critics alike. The season included The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe, which smashed ticket sales records for our organization, as well as Disgraced, which was named Best Production of a Play at the 2019-2020 Calgary Theatre Critics Awards,

Alberta Theatre Projects produces six plays per season in multiple different seating configurations (Proscenium, Thrust, Bar, and Cabaret) in our home at the Martha Cohen Theatre in Arts Commons.
