Alberta Theatre Projects - GLORY - Trailer
In 1933, four friends set out to prove to Canada that hockey isn’t just a sport for men. But with the Great Depression weighing heavily on the nation and political tensions rising in Europe, can they overcome the odds, and people’s expectations, and forge their own path to glory? Told through music and dance inspired by the jazz age, GLORY is an uplifting hockey story that proves a woman’s place is on home ice.

I am from an immigrant family - Duval Lang
Unless you’re from an Indigenous family, every Canadian came to our great country from somewhere else. Many of us grew up hearing these stories from our parents, grandparents or great-grandparents. It’s become not only part of our individual heritage but is also part of Calgary’s collective inheritance.
It’s the 30th anniversary of the Centre for Newcomers. We want to create a living snapshot of Calgary’s cultural legacy for generations to come.
Our goal is to collect 1,000 stories from everyday Calgarians, such as yourself. We are going to collect your stories on our website and store them permanently at Calgary’s new Central Library.

BY EVELYNE DE LA CHENELIÈRE
TRANSLATED BY JOHN MURRELL
DIRECTED BY VANESSA PORTEOUS
OCTOBER 17 – NOVEMBER 4, 2017
“WHEN IT ENDS, WE HAVE ONLY ONE WISH: TO SEE IT AGAIN.” – LE DEVOIR
“…TRULY MAGNIFICENT” – COUP DE POUCE
A dreamy and innovative theatrical experience penned by Oscar-nominated writer Evelyne de la Chenelière (Monsieur Lazhar, 2011) based on Virginia Woolf's 1927 novel ‘To The Lighthouse’. Incorporating live music, poetic text and striking visuals, To The Light is a profoundly moving performance that explores the friendship between two women who are at once drawn together and torn apart by the roles they have embraced as women in the early 20th century, one a mother and society wife, the other an ambitious but struggling career woman.
Audience Considerations: This performance uses stage haze, strobe lighting effects, and very loud, realistic war sounds. Suggested for ages 14+.
Purchase tickets:
Cast - Elinor Holt and Julie Orton
Musician - Bryce Kulak
Set and Lighting design - Narda McCarroll
Projection Design - Amelia Scott
Costume Design - Hanne Loosen
