Precipice Theatre Society is a performance group based in Banff, Alberta. We are committed to "Acting to make a difference in our environment." The group was formed in response to the need for creative approaches to environmental awareness. Precipice Theatre works in conjunction with other environmentally concerned groups creating original plays on current issues.

Founded in 1989 in Banff, Precipice Theatre has a wide array of Eco-theatre plays to its credit:

Trash Pageant - A beauty pageant that examines recycling

Stikine/Stickeen - Story theatre promoting protection of the protection of the Stikine River in Northern B.C.

Stumped - A deforestation murder mystery

Cowabunga - Livestock love story about overgrazing in wilderness areas of Alberta

Watershed of Tears - A musical water fantasy about the Alberta Water Resources Act

Nature Bats Last - Baseball, Birds and the Boreal forest

Tales from the Sari-Sari - International Theatre project (Canada/Phillipines) highlighting Community Sunstainability

Through a Tire Swing - Children's musical fantasy focusing on environmental stewardship

Corridor Croquet - Mountains, Mallets, and Musical Comedy about wilderness corridors (Yellowstone to Yukon)

 

Splash & Ripple - Along the Ribbon of Life - A musical journey along the shoreline of a lake, river, wetland, ocean and your imagination (Living By Water Project)

 

 

 

As well as creating and performing new works, the group conducts workshops and shares material and expertise with other groups interested in developing similar productions in their own communities. Through this range of activities, Precipice Theatre opens doors for audience members to personally take action on environmental issues.
