Forte Musical Theatre Guild (Forte) is a company on the leading edge of musical theatre. We are the only professional company in Western Canada dedicated exclusively to new musicals and, with our stable of established and emerging artists, we create engaging and intimate evenings of award-winning entertainment. Forte also creates educational and professional development opportunities for students, writers and young professionals to gain experience in this dynamic art form.

Forte aims to be a global force in new musicals and took our first bow on the world stage by producing a five-time award winning production at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2013. Since 2009, Forte has produced 27 new musicals including 18 world premieres which have, collectively, been nominated for 48 Betty Mitchell Awards, including 11 wins, and 18 Calgary Critics' Awards, with 7 wins.   Funny, cheeky and sometime subversive, Forte’s shows leave you with a tune in your heart and a smile on your face.
