About Theatre Girl
This blog is my humble attempt to share my passion for Calgary’s incredible theatre scene…one which I have followed for more than a dozen years now. I have beenn fortunate enough to write about the arts for the Calgary Herald, the now-defunct, fabulous FFWD and Prelude magazine.
It astounds me when I meet people who work downtown – who walk by the various theatre venues on a daily basis – who still have never crossed a theatrical threshold. They don’t know what they are missing…and then I try to tell them!
The opinions I’m sharing are completely my own, filtered through my inherent bias. Please feel free to share your thoughts, or send me a line if I’m missing something that should be included on the performance calendar.
