Theatre

Theatre programs support artists and technicians at every career level. Banff Centre was established in 1933 with a single summer course in drama. Since those early days, artists and technical practitioners alike have found exceptional opportunities for development here at our campus in the Canadian Rockies.

Banff Centre alumni can be found both nationally and internationally working at dance, music, opera, and theatre companies and training at universities and colleges.

An update on our offerings

While we recruit for a Director of Theatre, a position that will allow the Centre to grow the footprint of our Theatre programming we will be offering a smaller palette of  residencies for the 2022/23 season. We thank the artist community for your patience and support as we continue to rebuild.
