<strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
Board of Directors<br />
Thank you to all members, including those who serve on the board, for their continued<br />
involvement with <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />
It was gratifying to see that in the past year, even during a time of economic uncertainty,<br />
Calgarians continued to invest their money in theatre, both through donations and<br />
through ticket sales. The organization is growing and developing on all levels. <strong>Vertigo</strong><br />
<strong>Theatre</strong>’s reputation as a home for exceptional entertainment experience is growing as<br />
well.<br />
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Bellamy and General Manager Suzanne<br />
Mott, the <strong>Society</strong> is expanding our audience and fostering a welcoming environment for<br />
theatre professionals. Including our own programming and rental groups, The Playhouse<br />
and The Studio were in use 91% of the dates between September 1st and June 30th.<br />
<strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong>’s production of The Mousetrap was one of the most attended<br />
shows in the organization’s history with over 10,000 people attending. Y Stage also<br />
achieved great success with over 2,000 people attending the return of one of the most<br />
beloved productions in young people’s theatre, Snowflake.<br />
Sponsorship represents an on-going commitment between this organization and others.<br />
We are proud to have this year and next the partnership of AJM Petroleum Consultants<br />
as the <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong> season sponsor, and Suncor Energy as the Y Stage<br />
Season Sponsor.<br />
ATB Corporate Financial Services continues their sponsorship of <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery<br />
<strong>Theatre</strong> and we thank them for being the Centre Stage sponsor for <strong>2008</strong>/<strong>2009</strong>.<br />
Thank you to our very supportive gift-in-kind sponsors JuneWarren-Nickle’s Energy<br />
Group, Rock; Paper, Scissors; McAra Printing; and Corona Digital Imaging.<br />
A very special thank you to the Calgary Herald and Swerve for their extraordinary<br />
commitment to the arts and to the growth of our series specifically.<br />
On behalf of the Board and Staff, I would like to give special recognition to members of<br />
the board who completed their terms this year. They helped guide this organization<br />
along for many years and their hard work and leadership are greatly appreciated. Ed<br />
Bownes contributed a great deal to the board of the <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> <strong>Society</strong>. He created<br />
systems for board self-evaluation and helped develop the role of the board in this<br />
organization as it has evolved over the past several years. Fred Rea sat on the board<br />
through many changes in this organization. He was a steady and trustworthy influence<br />
as the organization overcame many challenges. His guidance to this board and to the<br />
general manager was invaluable.<br />
We have had a very successful year and look forward to the challenges and rewards<br />
ahead.<br />

Artistic Director’s <strong>Report</strong><br />
Mark Bellamy<br />
Artistic Director<br />
<strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> is:<br />
This past year at <strong>Vertigo</strong> has been one of incredible growth and<br />
success, both administratively and artistically. The <strong>2008</strong>/<strong>2009</strong><br />
seasons for both <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong> and Y Stage were, to<br />
my mind, the strongest we have ever had in our history. We took<br />
great strides forward artistically and were rewarded with great<br />
response from our audience and the arts community.<br />
VERTIGO MYSTERY THEATRE<br />
The loyalty of our <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong> patrons is extraordinary.<br />
I am thrilled they have embraced our programming choices<br />
over the past year. As we continue to expand the envelope<br />
artistically of what mystery is and can be, it allows us to bring<br />
new and exciting work and ideas to our stage. These new ideas<br />
and challenges are what keep us growing and evolving as<br />
Canada’s premiere producer of works based in the mystery<br />
genre.<br />
Some highlights for me of the <strong>2008</strong>/<strong>2009</strong> season include the<br />
world premiere of William Link’s Columbo Takes the Rap. Having<br />
the legendary William Link join us for the opening was quite a<br />
thrill for everyone involved. Even more thrilling was how<br />
incredibly impressed he was with the caliber of work and the<br />
talent that we showcase here at <strong>Vertigo</strong>. It’s not easy to impress a<br />
Hollywood legend but we did!<br />
Later that season our production of An Inspector Calls was a<br />
with deeper issues of societal guilt and the role we each play in<br />
shaping the world around us. This show had a great impact on<br />
our audience, and was a clear sign that our audience is as<br />
receptive to challenging work as any other in the city.<br />
Murder, a co-production with the Gateway <strong>Theatre</strong> in Richmond<br />
BC, was a great success and a great way to introduce the kind of<br />
work we do here to another audience as well as forging<br />
connections with another company. I hope to see more things<br />
like this in our future<br />
Works like these and the work we continue to do this season is a<br />
part of that ever-expanding dialogue that we have with our<br />
audience. The ability to entertain while still producing thought-<br />
provoking theatre is one of the greatest things any theatre<br />
company can aspire to and I am very proud that <strong>Vertigo</strong> is<br />
becoming known for doing just that.<br />

Y STAGE<br />
1. <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong> – Canada’s only professional theatre annually presenting a series of mystery-based plays.<br />
2. Y Stage – Calgary’s only presenter of a theatre for young audiences series showcasing professionally produced work<br />
on tour from across Canada and beyond during the regular theatre season.<br />
3. Provider of a performance home for numerous performing arts and arts education organizations.<br />
The addition of Nathan Pronyshyn as Y Stage Producer adds<br />
another artistic voice and viewpoint to <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>. Nathan has<br />
already made a huge impact on the organization with his vision for<br />
the future of Y Stage, continuing the extraordinary work done by<br />
Suzanne Mott who founded the series<br />
The biggest development of this past season at Y Stage was a new<br />
addition to the series as we expanded to teen programming. Green<br />
Thumb <strong>Theatre</strong>’s acclaimed production of Cranked was a highly<br />
meth addiction. By partnering with AARC to do post show<br />
discussions for both school and public performances we were able<br />
to deepen the experience for our audiences. This dynamic<br />
presentation was immensely successful and had a strong response<br />
from schools necessitating the need to add 6 additional<br />
performances<br />
Last year saw a marked growth in the audiences for Y Stage. We had<br />
great attendance for the shows and now have a growing recognition<br />
amongst Calgary's theatre community for presenting truly<br />
excellent theatre for youth and families. Our Y Stage Club<br />
Receptions & Opening Nights have become increasingly popular as<br />
we see the audience engaging in discussions about the work and<br />
the issues that are raised.<br />
We also spent some time last year strengthening our relationships<br />
with the National <strong>Theatre</strong> for Young Audience community across<br />
the country. Nathan was able to take several excursions to see<br />
shows and meet with artistic leaders from other organizations to<br />
ensure that <strong>Vertigo</strong>’s Y Stage series has the national prominence<br />
and recognition it deserves<br />
MENTORSHIP<br />
<strong>Vertigo</strong> has a strong reputation with the Calgary Arts Community as<br />
a great place to work, a place for seasoned artists to be challenged<br />
as well as a place where we encourage young artists to grow and<br />
of the organization, from the administrative level through to<br />
designers, directors, actors and technicians. I feel that mentorship<br />
in the Arts is vital and I am proud that <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> has<br />
developed a reputation as being a place where artists of all kinds<br />
can come and be challenged in a positive and supportive<br />
environment.<br />

General Manager’s <strong>Report</strong><br />
Suzanne Mott<br />
General Manager<br />
<strong>2008</strong>/<strong>2009</strong> was an exhilarating season for <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>. It was our first to operate without the cloud of the accumulated deficit incurred<br />
during the first year of operations at <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Centre (2003/2004). We increased programming with the addition of a 6th production to<br />
our Y Stage Series. We successfully navigated through the initial dark months of the economic crisis, achieving modest growth<br />
through those turbulent times.<br />
Attendance totaled 47,105 which was en par with the previous year but within that total, there was significant growth within some key areas.<br />
• Subscriptions to <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong> grew by 5% to an all-time high of 4,881. Of those, 86% were renewals which is testimony to a<br />
loyal and satisfied audience base.<br />
• Y Stage Club Passes to Y Stage grew by 14%; far exceeding our expectations.<br />
• Student matinee ticket sales, an area we have been focusing on for several years, leapt 14%; once again exceeding our expectations.<br />
Attendance to <strong>Vertigo</strong> Mystery <strong>Theatre</strong> plays filled 85% of our audience capacity while Y Stage attendance was 81%. These are extremely<br />
high percentages and we couldn’t be happier.<br />
We met our overall business objectives, achieving an overall growth in revenues of 8%. Ticket Sales and Venue Rental revenues increased<br />
by 11% while we made some headway with government funding, seeing a 38% increase.<br />
With the accumulated deficit behind us, we were able to make a modest contribution to the newly established <strong>Vertigo</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Endowment<br />
Fund. The purpose of this fund is to provide the society with a new future revenue stream to support creative activity for both series. We<br />
were also able to save sufficient funds over the season to refurbish the public areas.<br />
This was my first season to not also wear the hat of Y Stage Producer and I could not be more gratified and proud of the work accomplished<br />
by Nathan Pronyshyn who has taken over that series. Over this past year, Nathan has exhibited a strong vision for the future of Y Stage and<br />
has established himself as a strong player within the national theatre for young audience community.<br />
As with every year, I was rewarded and humbled by the dedication to this organization and the work that we produce by our incredible staff. I<br />
wish to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for all of their hard hard work over the past year, that made our season<br />
such a success. I also thank Mark, our artistic leader, who is a such a pleasure to work with and a supportive comrade-in-arms. The relationship<br />
between General Manager and Artistic Director is extremely special and I wish to express my appreciation for his unwavering support that<br />
helps make my work so enjoyable.<br />
The relationship between General Manager and the Board of Directors is critical to the successful running of a mid-size arts organization.<br />
Since I took on my position in 2004, I have only known the Board of Directors to be highly engaged. Over this past year, I was extremely<br />
grateful for the unwavering support I received as General Manager and very moved by Cal Johnson’s nomination of me, on behalf of the<br />
Board, for the Rosza Award for Excellence in Arts Administration.<br />
The upcoming season offers several challenges. We are not yet out of the turbulent economic waters and it is still to be seen how we might<br />
be affected in our ticket sales, sponsorships and donations. The Province of Alberta has announced that we should prepare for funding<br />
cutbacks. We have already been impacted by these cuts with the Province’s cancellation of a new Gallery 2005 exhibit – a situation we are<br />
still working to remedy with a new partner. We have once again budgeted for modest growth for our productions and our infrastructure. We<br />
have a solid brand, a wonderful artistic program and enthusiastic stakeholders and I have full faith that we will be able to project further<br />
growth by the time we sit down to draft our new 3-year strategic plan in February, 2010.<br />
Introducing children to theatre is a wonderful part of the Y Stage experience.<br />
