Vertigo Theatre

Founded in 1976 as Pleiades Theatre, Vertigo Theatre is Calgary's premier professional theatre company dedicated to mystery and intrigue. Recognized as Canada's National Theatre of Mystery & Intrigue, Vertigo produces a full season of genre plays — thrillers, classics, and world premieres — welcoming over 50,000 patrons annually. Located at the base of the Calgary Tower in downtown Calgary, the company operates two performance venues, a rehearsal hall, and is home to the BD&P Theatre Series. Incorporated as a charitable society in 1997 and rebranded as Vertigo Theatre in 2003, the company has been nominated for over 300 Betty Mitchell Awards since 1998. Vertigo is also a hub for Calgary's arts community, hosting partner organizations including Lunchbox Theatre, The Shakespeare Company, and the High Performance Rodeo.
