Welcome to
Fire Exit Theatre

We produce excellent, innovative art that unlocks the soul of our audience through an artistic community exploring what it means to be fully human while seeking the divine.

Theatre is not just presented
it is created together

Each Fire Exit Show is built by artists, crew, staff and volunteers and is completed by the presence of you - the audience.

We simply cannot do this without you.
And we don’t want to.

This spring, we are raising $25,000 to finish Season 24 well and start Season 25 with strength. Gifts can be one-time donations or reoccurring monthly donations, all are appreciated.

We Are Fire Exit Theatre

Founded in 2002 with Hope, Challenge, Change as our foundation and a desire to create community and create in community.

Our aim is to artistically explore the world through the lens of faith. We challenge our artists and patrons to think new thoughts, lean into empathy, examine who our neighbour is, and to be open to transformation and the hope of redemption.

We invest in the emerging artists who are developing their creative voices, finding their way in the world. And we seek to learn from the established artists who have gone before. 

We have grown into a respected company who seeks to serve the arts community in Calgary and beyond.
