House Programs

Banff Centre has made the decision to begin using digital house programs to reduce waste and promote environmental sustainability within the arts. Please find the applicable house program sorted below by discipline. These digital programs feature notes from the creative team, show synopses, biographies, credits, support recognition and more!

We ask that you please view your program prior to the performance, during an intermission, or after the performance out of respect for those performing.
