A familiar face has returned to Theatre Calgary! Thom Allison is back, but this time as the director of the award-winning hit musical, Million Dollar Quartet. A favourite to Theatre Calgary audiences, Thom has lit up our stage numerous times, including The Louder We Get, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Evita, Cabaret, and Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill. In between those productions, he has appeared on Broadway in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and in the original Canadian companies of Miss Saigon, The Who’s Tommy and Rent. On TV, you’ve probably seen him on Frankie Drake Mysteries, Hudson & Rex, Murdoch Mysteries, Kim’s Convenience, and in his Canadian Screen Award-winning role of “Pree” on Killjoys.

Long-time patrons of Arts Commons, as well as avid supporters of the arts, Rodney and Karen McCann along with their family, wanted to find a meaningful way to give back to our essential workers who have given so much to get us safely through the pandemic. The idea that they came up with, in collaboration with Arts Commons, is the Season of Gratitude program which aims to bring essential workers to productions by the Resident Companies of Arts Commons.
