Theatre Calgary
|
|
|
The origin of the Theatre Calgary dates back to the 1940s, when students of Betty Mitchell, a drama teacher at Calgary's Western Canada High School, established an amateur group known as "Workshop 14." Two decades later, a second amateur group called the "Musicians' and Actors' Club" (MAC) and Workshop 14 merged to become MAC 14. MAC 14 became Theatre Calgary, a fully professional theatre company, on July 1st, 1968.
