Sage Theatre in collaboration with Vertical City Performance presents an immersive theatre puzzle. Mar. 18 to Mar. 22, 2026 Contemporary Calgary Four figures wake up in an isolated room, with no idea how they got there. Each has a clue. A single, fragmented memory, just beyond their grasp. As they cautiously begin to learn from one another, they soon realize the question is not who they are, but what they are. For only one of them is human. And in an AI world, being human can be dangerous. Reset is an immersive theatre experience, an intimate puzzle where the audience is invited to solve a high-stakes mystery that changes every night. Watch closely. Even the actors don’t know the answer when each performance begins…

About Sage Theatre

Sage Theatre takes you on a bold, intimate, thoughtful journey exploring the human condition. We showcase talented Albertan artists and provide a platform for artistic growth and achievement. Sage Theatre was founded in 1998 under the artistic leadership of Rob Moffat. Sage Theatre quickly established a presence as an innovative and risk-taking theatre company. Rob Moffat remained with the company until 2004, with Kelly Reay taking over during an extremely productive decade. In 2015, Jason Mehmel became Artistic Director and Sage’s brand of bold, intimate and thoughtful theatre continues. Production highlights include awards winning productions of Lion in the Streets, Trainspotting, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Girl in the Goldfish Bowl, The Dazzle and Polygraph. We were proud to produce the Canadian premiere of My Name is Rachel Corrie in 2007, and the world premiere of Meg Braem’s Blood: A Scientific Romance in 2011. We produced the Canadian premiere of King Kirby in 2016. This was followed by more world premieres: Natalie Meisner’s Legislating Love in 2018, Clem Martini’s Cantata (Rumours of My Crazy, Useless Life), and Javier Vilalta’s translation of Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, both in 2022. Natalie Meisner’s Boom Baby joined this bundle of premieres in 2025! Legislating Love played to sold out audiences in Calgary, won the Heritage Calgary Lion Award, was selected and produced as part of the Alberta Queer Calendar Audio Project, toured to The Dublin International Gay Theatre Festival where it won the “Oscar” (Wilde) Award for best script and has also been published in book form by the University of Calgary Press with a critical introduction by the team.
