Call for Volunteers (Calgary) - Calgary One Act Play Festival

ADFA and Pumphouse Theatre: Calgary Region One Act Play Festival 2025: Call for Volunteers!

The Pumphouse Theatre is looking for volunteer ushers for each night of the upcoming Calgary Region One Act Play Festival happening April 3 – 5 2025. Volunteers get to see the shows for free!

Shows are 7:30pm nightly. Ushers are expected to arrive at 6:45pm. Ushers will be trained on appropriate safety procedures and their individual roles (ripping tickets, passing out programs, assisting patrons to their seats). Ushers are expected to stay until the theatre has been vacated. Shows vary in runtime each night, and therefore the indicated end-time may change. Ushers are not required to wear any particular colour or style of clothing. Heels are not recommended.

We will provide you with training and assign specific roles (ticket taker, program, etc) on the night.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Kelly Malcolm, Programming Director, at kelly@pumphousetheatre.ca and Troy Couillard, Interim Programming Director, at prod@pumphousetheatre.ca

We hope to see you at the theatre!

Attend The WGA 2025 Conference: Genre and Form Through Time

The Writers’ Guild of Alberta Annual 2025 Spring Conference will explore major influences on genre and form through time. We will look at how writers continue to be inspired and influenced by those before them, and how we shape the landscape for those who come after us. Workshops, masterclasses, and panels will also delve into the business of writing and how to strengthen craft skills. 

Proposed pathways will guide participants — novice, intermediate, and established — on ideal offerings according to where they feel they are on their literary journeys. However, all sessions are open to everyone in attendance; there is no right way to attend the conference. The weekend will be self-directed, and participants are encouraged to attend any sessions they desire.

Most importantly, come prepared to connect and network with other local writers.
