Alberta Theatre Projects is a Calgary-based, not-for-profit, professional theatre company that celebrates the art of live theatre. From its home in The Martha Cohen Theatre at Arts Commons, the company produces world-calibre shows with a focus on idea-driven new works, plays by Canadian playwrights, and contemporary theatre from around the world. It is also a national leader in new play development and dramaturgy. From the beginning, ATP has always had a mandate of presenting new Canadian plays. Through innovative programs such as the Enbridge playRites Festival and more recently Enbridge New Canadian Plays, ATP has continued its rich history of producing new Canadian works. Some of the new works premiered have gone onto international acclaim including Mary’s Wedding by Stephen Massicotte, The Shape of a Girl by Joan MacLeod, Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love by Brad Fraser, and Butcher by Nicolas Billon. The reach of Alberta Theatre Projects extends far beyond the doors of our theatre. We are committed to actively engaging the community by encouraging interaction and feedback between our patrons, volunteers, supporters and artists. ATP continues to invest in the future by supporting emerging artists and providing unique opportunities for Calgary’s youth to get involved with and grow their passion for the theatre.
