Lunchbox Theatre is also Canada's leading development source and producer of new one-act plays, through THE PETRO-CANADA STAGE ONE PLAYS. At the end of each season, Lunchbox Theatre holds a series of readings of new works and invites audience members to give feedback during a discussion period. Lunchbox Theatre has proved, through THE PETRO-CANADA STAGE ONE PLAYS, that a small, Calgary-based company can create world-class works that have the potential for impact far beyond this city.

Lunchbox Theatre delivers a unique experience to its audience - upbeat performances in an intimate and comfortable atmosphere. Located on the second level of Bow Valley Square, Lunchbox Theatre is wheelchair accessible and offers ample parking. Patrons are encouraged to visit many of the retail shops and food court vendors while in Bow Valley Square & purchase lunch across from the theatre and then enjoy the play while you eat! This audience-friendly approach makes Lunchbox Theatre an ideal place to introduce theatre to new audiences, young and old!

In fact, through generous sponsorship from the Canadian Pacific Charitable Foundation, Lunchbox Theatre has created the School & Audience Development Program, designed to introduce students to theatre, and to offer group booking incentives and discounts.
