VERTIGO THEATRE HAS ENTERTAINED AUDIENCES FOR 45 YEARS WITH HIGH QUALITY PROGRAMMING, EVOLVING INTO A TRULY UNIQUE ORGANIZATION. 

Vertigo Theatre is located at the base of the Calgary Tower in the heart of downtown Calgary, and is home to the organization, its two performance venues and the BD&P Mystery Theatre Series.

Our artistic mandate allows exposure to a broad demographic and our diverse audience includes all walks of life.

Our work hasn’t gone unnoticed. The 2017/2018 theatre season saw our highest grossing audience in Vertigo’s history. We took home 4 Betty Mitchell Awards at the 2018 award ceremony. Our Executive Director Rose Brow was the recipient of the 2014 Rozsa Award for Excellence in Arts Management. Our profile has also grown and changed within Calgary’s artistic community. Since the inception of the Betty Mitchell Awards in 1998, Pleiades Theatre and Vertigo Theatre productions have been nominated for over 100 awards in design, directing, acting, production, choreography, fight direction and and musical direction.

We build strong partnerships through our various student and professional outreach initiatives that are designed specifically to help meet your community investment objectives.

Vertigo Theatre is a member of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres (P.A.C.T.) and engages artists who are members of the Canadian Actors’ Equity Association.
