6 Christmas Shows to See in Calgary

Christmas Theatre for musical

Dreaming of a white Christmas in Calgary: easy. Getting out to see a show with the kids while prepping for upcoming festivities: not so easy.

We can help make it happen with our recommendations of six Christmas shows.

Get the season off to a swinging start by watching StoryBook Theatre’€™s production of the classic musical, White Christmas. Based on the 1954 film starring Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby, the story revolves around two war veterans turned song-and-dance team. The men pair up with two talented sisters to perform a Christmas show at a Vermont lodge owned by their former army commander in the hopes of saving the business. Your budding musical enthusiasts will appreciate the catchy tunes (such as ‘€˜Snow,’€™ ‘€˜Blue Skies,’€™ ‘€˜I Love a Piano’€™ and, of course, ‘€˜White Christmas’€™) and you can take some time out to just sit, relax and hum along (before heading back to the holiday to-do list).

Known for its high-quality productions for children, after 36 years, StoryBook Theatre now has a permanent home at the Beddington Heights Community Centre in the northwest (which is another reason to celebrate). White Christmas runs from November 23 to December 16, with evening performances at 7:30 pm (Wednesday to Sunday) and matinees at 2:30 pm (Saturday and Sunday).

Add some ‘€˜glee’€™ to your upcoming holiday season. That’s the ticket.
