“It’s wrItten on the walls of thIs hotel, you go to heaven, once you’ve been to hell.”
Check into New York’s infamous hotel and be transported to a place full of music, mystery and desire. With extraordinary new arrangements, six performers play seventeen instruments in a rollicking tribute to Leonard Cohen’s most transcendent songs and lyrics. You’ll be transfixed by this eclectic cabaret of loves lost and won.

WELCOME Theatre Calgary has presented Charles Dickens’ classic holiday story A Christmas
Carol for twenty-eight seasons. In that time over 675,000 people have attended
the production, and another 450 artists have been involved as actors, technicians,
designers, directors and other members of our creative family. At the end of each
performance, as happy patrons exit the theatre, we are reminded of the abiding
power of Dickens’ story to inspire and delight. There are audience members who
return year after year and bring their ever-expanding families. For many people,
attending A Christmas Carol at Theatre Calgary signals the beginning of their
holiday celebrations. Our tradition has become their tradition.
There have been various adaptations of the story presented on our stage over the
years. I’ve set this production in a winter wonderland. It’s a reflection of Scrooge’s
cold heart and I also think it’s a fitting nod to our chilly Calgary winter. Rather than
end our story with the snow melting and the ice receding, instead we celebrate
winter with a delightful skating party on a frozen river. Our story centres on one
man’s confrontation with his own selfish and destructive existence. By reflecting on
the life he has led, and more frighteningly, seeing the life he is destined to lead, this
man finds his way to redemption. And because of this, there is light and hope at
the heart of this story. For this reason we have filled our production with music
and laughter.
This production endures here at Theatre Calgary because our audiences
continue to support us year after year. Thank you for sharing this gift
with us.
Happy Holidays.
DENNIS GARNHUM
Artistic Director

The Shaw Festival production of The
Philadelphia Story arrives to heat up
our stage beginning in January. You
might remember the film, made famous
by Katharine Hepburn, but join us for
the original stage version. A romantic
comedy set on a lovely June weekend
to warm your winter blues. Funny,
touching, and performed beautifully
by actors from the renowned Shaw
Festival. A perfect escape.

THE GIFT OF A LITTLE CHRISTMAS BOOK
“If Christmas, with its ancient and hospitable customs, its social and charitable observances, were ever in danger of decay, this is the book that would give them a new lease.”
– Thomas Hood on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, 1843
The autumn of 1843 was not a season of great cheer for Charles
Dickens. After a visit to one of London’s poorest schools, he
travelled to Manchester in October to speak on behalf of the
struggling Athenaeum, an institution that provided education
and recreation to the city’s enormous working class. Life in
newly industrialized Manchester was difficult at the time.
Most workers faced dangerous conditions and low pay, with
thousands relying on the charity of soup kitchens every day.
But while delivering his rousing speech to the Athenaeum’s
members, Dickens was inspired by the “bright eyes and
beaming faces” of the poor in his audience. Afterwards, he
spent the night walking the city’s grim streets and formed the
idea for A Christmas Carol.
On his return to London, Dickens threw himself headlong into
the new project. He was so eager to finish the book in time
for Christmas that he postponed meetings for several weeks,
sending his regrets to his lawyer, for example, by explaining
that he was “in the
middle of a roaring
Christmas scene.” In
a letter to a friend,
Dickens wrote that
he had “wept and
laughed and wept
again” while working
from morning to
evening on what he
affectionately called
“my little Christmas
book.”
When his publisher
expressed doubts
about A Christmas
Carol, Dickens put his
own finances on the
line to print the book.
He commissioned
the artist John Leech
to make illustrations
and woodcuts, chose
a festive red and gold
cover, and set the
price at a relatively affordable five shillings (a novel would sell
for around 30 shillings at the time).
With Dickens’ hard work, A Christmas Carol was ready just in
time for Christmas. Six thousand copies were published on
December 19, 1843, and every single one was sold by Christmas
Day. Newspaper reviews praised the book’s Yuletide message
of generosity and goodwill. “Who can listen to objections
regarding such a book as this?” wrote William Makepeace
Thackeray, a fellow novelist and one of Dickens’ foremost
rivals. “It seems to me a national benefit, and to every man and
woman who reads it, a personal kindness.”
Dickens soon received scores of letters from readers who
wanted to thank him for brightening their holiday season.
A prominent Scottish judge wrote to say that Dickens had
“fostered more kindly feelings and prompted more positive acts
of beneficence” with his one small book than all the sermons
and publications of the previous year’s Christmas combined.
As for Dickens, he was so cheered that he spent a full hour
performing magic tricks for children at a Christmas party that
year. He made plum pudding appear from a top hat and then
danced with his friends late into the night.

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY“The time to make up your mind about people is never.”
What's worse than having a scandal-seeking tabloid reporter infiltrate your wedding?
Your ex-husband could show up too.
That's just what happens to socialite Tracy Lord in The Philadelphia Story, a madcap
comedy about love and class. Beautiful, wealthy, and about to marry an all-American
dream man, Tracy has her perfect plans threatened by the most awkward kind of
uninvited guests. With not one but three eligible bachelors, can she keep her wedding
– and her heart – on track?
Playwright Philip Barry wrote The Philadelphia Story for his good friend Katharine
Hepburn, who badly needed a lead role after a series of box office failures in the late
1930s. She starred as Tracy Lord in the play’s hit Broadway premiere and returned to the
role a year later in the Oscar-winning classic film alongside Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart.
Critics and audiences loved the Shaw Festival's production of The Philadelphia Story
this past summer, and Theatre Calgary is proud to bring it west in January. Directed by
TC's own artistic director Dennis Garnhum, The Philadelphia Story features a lavish set
design, elegant costumes, and memorable performances from the stellar Shaw Festival
acting ensemble.
There'll be more than enough heat to keep you warm... even if you go for a midnight swim.
“Bask in the golden glow of Moya O’Connell’s Tracy Lord.” –The Toronto Star
“Dennis Garnhum's staging is clear and confident, while William Schmuck's set is positively spectacular.” –The Wall Street Journal
“From the sets to the music, the script to the acting, I could not have loved The Philadelphia Story more. Simply delightful.” –Shaw Festival audience member

A CHRISTMAS CAROL GLOSSARY
Christmas carols A carol is a song of joy and praise,
often with a religious theme or
lesson. The Christmas tradition of
door-to-door caroling dates back
to the Middle Ages, and many
of today’s popular carols were
written in the 1800s.
Bob and quid “Bob” is slang for a shilling.
Twenty shillings make one pound,
which can also be called a “quid.”
Bob Cratchit earns 15 shillings a
week. This is less than the average
salary for a clerk in the 1840s,
which was around 25 shillings a
week.
Bedlam There was a notorious insane
asylum at the Hospital of St. Mary
of Bethlehem in London. The
name of this facility was often
shortened to “Bedlam.”
Workhouses and the Poor Law During Dickens’ time, the Poor Law forced many poor people
into prison-like workhouses, where they were given meagre
food and shelter in exchange for menial work.
Wassail Wassail is a drink consisting of ale or wine sweetened with
sugar and spices. The word comes from the Norse ves heill,
which means “be of good health.”
Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe is the title character of a 1719 Daniel Defoe
novel, which follows the adventures of a castaway marooned
on an island for 28 years.

Thank you for your support!
A Time of Gratitude and Generosity
Here’s Your Cue
with Karen Sobel
Karen Sobel is Senior Vice President of Calgary Operations for WorleyParsons
How does WorleyParsons celebrate the Christmas season with its staff?WorleyParsons considers its employees part of a bigger family so we definitely celebrate together during the holiday season. We have a children’s party with face painting and a visit from Santa and also host an adult dinner and dance. We also focus on the spirit of the season every day by celebrating the diversity of our staff. We have more than 2,000 employees in Calgary.
What value does partnering with Theatre Calgary provide WorleyParsons? We’ve been a partner of Theatre Calgary since May 2013. This partnership provides opportunities to get to know our customers and celebrate our business relationships. Through Theatre Calgary we can reach out to guests who prefer a cultural evening. This allows us to get closer to a more diverse customer base than at a sporting event or golf tournament. I have received very positive feedback from families, whom we have invited to attend productions like A Christmas Carol and Mary Poppins.
How does your partnership with Theatre Calgary support business development?Partnering with Theatre Calgary provides a unique, culturally-focused venue to have more open conversations with our customers outside the office. The more we get to know customers personally, the more we understand their business. A couples-based evening at Theatre Calgary allows us to connect with more senior executives than is possible at other events.
How have guests responded to your client events at Theatre Calgary?After an event at Theatre Calgary, more customers send me written thank you messages than any other WorleyParsons events. Based on these responses, I know there is a very strong appreciation for Theatre Calgary productions.
Would you recommend a partnership with Theatre Calgary to other companies?Not to our competition! (laughs) But in all seriousness, I would highly recommend it to any other company that wishes to develop and celebrate a business relationship in a unique way, while supporting the performing arts in Calgary. I am very impressed with how professionally Theatre Calgary is managed. The entire Theatre Calgary team provides a true “front of line” experience for our guests and employees.
What is your current role at WorleyParsons?I came to WorleyParsons as a Vice-President of Operations in April 2013 and am now Location Manager for WorleyParsons’ operations in what is called North America Central, which incorporates offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Tulsa and Houston.
With whom do you do business?We provide projects primarily for Fortune 100 companies in both the resources and energy sectors. Our business in North America is quite vast, including infrastructure & environment, onshore pipelines, offshore, minerals & metals, downstream, upstream, LNG and power. We provide conceptual design, front-end engineering and detailed design work to build facilities for customers at home and around the world, including oil & gas customers in Alberta and offshore in the US Gulf coast, North Sea and Australia. We also have a fabrication unit based in Edmonton and provide construction and construction management services as well as “brownfield services” to assist customers using new technology to increase capacity for existing projects and facilities.
When was WorleyParsons established?WorleyParsons is headquartered in Australia and, in 2007, established a presence in Calgary by acquiring Colt Companies – Canada’s largest engineering and project services firm.
What are some of WorleyParsons recent Calgary and Alberta projects?Some recent projects include High River flood mitigation, major projects in the oilsands and unconventional oil & gas projects in Alberta, BC and the US. We recently established a “repeatable design” process for projects, which enhances our customer’s bottom line.
“After an event at Theatre Calgary, more customers send me written thank you messages
than any other WorleyParsons events.”
“We also focus on the spirit of the season every day by celebrating the diversity of
our staff.”
