About ONE YELLOW RABBIT

1) Production of new plays. The OYR Ensemble creates and performs new work, which is presented to Calgary audiences in our permanent home, the Big Secret Theatre 

2) The High Performance Rodeo: Calgary’s International Festival of the Arts. The High Performance Rodeo is the largest and oldest festival of creation-based performance west of Montreal and has been produced by OYR annually since 1987. 

3) Beautiful Young Artist program. The Beautiful Young Artist program provides a combined training and performance opportunity for local pre-professional theatre artists. Founding One Yellow Rabbit Ensemble member Denise Clarke works with selected artists over a three year period, mentoring them as they learn to create and perform individual and ensemble works using the OYR method of collective creation. Funds supporting this program go towards paying these artists while they are learning, creating and performing.
