Alberta Venture magazine has named Downstage one of Alberta’s 20 most innovative organizations in its annual list. 

In its profile of the Calgary Theatre company, Alberta Venture writes “Downstage is constantly searching for ways to attract audiences and spark dialogue – be it by bringing performances into community centres or by moderating post-­performance discussions.”

The article specifically references Downstages 2015 production of rihannaboi95 by Jordan Tannahill, which took place entirely online, and allowed users to comment and affect the direction of the play.
