About Orpheus Theatre

Orpheus Theatre, located on the SAIT Campus at 1301 16 Avenue NW in Calgary, Alberta, is a versatile performing arts venue that has long served as a hub for musical theatre, concerts, and a variety of live performances, providing both students and the wider community with an accessible space to experience the performing arts. While it may not have the high-profile fame of Calgary's larger venues like Theatre Calgary or Vertigo Theatre, Orpheus Theatre has carved out a reputation for intimate, engaging productions that range from classic musicals to contemporary works, and it frequently hosts events from the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society. The theatre's design accommodates audiences with clear sightlines and quality acoustics, enhancing the enjoyment of every show, while its location within SAIT makes it convenient for both local residents and visitors to access. Over the years, the venue has become known not just as a performance space but as a cultural gathering point where emerging talent can showcase their skills, community members can enjoy professional-level theatre, and Calgary's artistic scene can thrive, celebrating both education and entertainment in a welcoming environment.
