This Random World & COVID-19
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed.
- John Lennon
Well, our friends, we recognize that these are some strange days. Days full of uncertainty and even fear. Days of deepening isolation. Maybe even days of anger. We hope that you have support around you.
Artist Community – please know you are not alone. Many of you have lost all forseeable income and have had productions that you have put hours and hours of work into, shut down. Stories that will never be realized. This is heart breaking. Please reach out. We will certainly help in anyway we can.
You have Arts Chaplains and we would love to connect with you.

We have delayed our decision to postpone our final production of the season for as long as we could but it looks like there is just too much uncertainty. We will be moving This Random World into our next season.
If you have already purchased tickets to this show, or are a Season Ticket holder, please contact our Box Office at tickets@fireexit.ca or 403-640-4617.
We are happy to refund you the price of the ticket but ask if you will consider making it a donation instead and we will issue you a tax receipt.
You have been extraordinarily generous with us over the years and hope that, as you are able, you will continue to be.
We still have stories to tell. Stories that matter.
Be well. Be kind. Be hopeful.

Scripts on Fire New Play Competition
Fire Exit Theatre exists to create conversations around faith; what you believe and don’t believe about God and death and life and all that happens in between. We believe that everyone is on a spiritual journey, whether they know it or not. We believe that life is hard and God is good and that choosing to live in that tension creates the best stories.
We want to hear your stories around this theme.
