StoryBook Theatre is Canada's largest volunteer-driven Theatre' for Young Audiences and families.   Each season we bring together some of the industry's brightest emerging talents both on and off the stage to create some incredibly accessible theatre for the whole family. In our almost 45 years of serving Calgary, we have fostered the love and passion for theatre arts in over one million people.
 
We bring stories to life in a way that encourages children and their families to dream about who they are and may become, to explore the story from different perspectives, to think using inductive reasoning, and to connect to other people and ideas.
