Downstage has a few remaining dates open for the 2013-14 season in Motel, a flexible 50-seat black-box performance venue located in the EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts, and Birds & Stone, a black box space used for rehearsals or intimate performances on 16th Avenue and 1st Street NW in the basement of the Unitarian Church of Calgary.
Interested artists/companies are asked to submit a brief project proposal (less than one page in length) describing the work to be presented, the artists involved (if known) and the dates requested. Proposals will be accepted on an ongoing basis until all available dates are filled.
The weekly rate for performances in Motel is $600 plus GST and applicable ticket fees, and the rates for Birds & Stone are $400/week for performances or $250/week for rehearsals (all inclusive). Due to the limited dates available, we will consider daily or partial-week rentals – please contact us for rates.
