Three courts will be dedicated to beginners and new/nervous players! If you’re new – you belong with us. For brand new players, mentors Reinette & Elmar Otte will be on one court to introduce brand new players to some basics and get them playing.
Two courts will be for people who are new to the game and nervous about joining open play. On the other three courts, people will be in the game, open play style. It’s the perfect way to meet new people and come together in a very social sport. Put on your court shoes and gym attire and come to a fun afternoon before the Western Cup evening festivities begin.
A brand-new organization under the Apollo umbrella that started up in 2023, Apollo Pickleball is passionate about fostering safe spaces for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and creating resilient and healthy communities that embrace movement, play, inclusivity, and kindness.
To play or learn the basics, the cost is $15/person, paid in advance by interac e-transfer to apollopickleball@gmail.com To confirm your spot, full payment must be received within 48-hours of signing up.

Play details:
To come to open play, we expect that you’ve played at least 5 games and know the rules. Open play is novice-friendly but not for brand new players. Coaching is not provided during open-play.
If instruction is preferred, keep your eye out for one of our highly anticipated; Novice Nights!
Our goal is to ensure you get to play close to your own skill-level; while stretching yourself to improve every time. We will have 1-2 court for newer players (if required), but will be encouraging you to dip your toe into the sea of open play!
We do switch partners with each game so be prepared to meet new people and make new friends!
The most important quality for players is to be accepting – not only of diversity but also of other players skill levels. Please note that overly competitive, non-novice-friendly behaviour won’t work for this community.
We have paddles you can borrow but HIGHLY ENCOURAGE decent court shoes to prevent injury as well as protective eyewear.
WE’LL BE PROUD TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR COURTS!!

Going All the Way
2023-08-05 14:00 - 15:00 | The Lantern Community Church, 1401 10 ave se, Calgary, Alberta, T2G 0X1, Canada
Going All the Way is a 1-hour theatre performance that follows best friends Avery and Beatrice (played by Ty Wesley and Loreto Espinoza, respectively). They have spent their whole university degree creating off-the-wall performances, but their final project is outside everyone’s comfort zone: teaching sex-ed to middle schoolers through puppetry. The show takes a turn for the bizarre when years of resentment and confusion bubble up, leaving the two of them hashing out their issues with sex, love, and identity in front of an increasingly restless audience.
This provocative, original work premiered last November in Victoria, BC and is created and directed by Hannah Mariko Bell and written by Sophie Underwood and Kiley Verbowski. The vibrant and unforgettable world of Going All the Way is realized through the work of SKAM’s creative team and crew, including Stage Manager Megan Farrel. The puppets featured in the play were designed by Hannah Mariko Bell, with Puppet and other Props Construction by Christian Tervo, assisted by Sasha Lazin and Faith Robinson. The complete design team includes Lynnéa Chan (Costume Design), Miriam Dumitra (Lighting Design & Sound Design), and Logan Swain (Set Design).

Calgary Pride x FORIEGNERZ - WORK 2023 Pride Gala
2023-08-17 18:00 - 22:00 | Fairmont Palliser, Calgary, 133 9 Avenue Southwest, Calgary, AB, T2P 2M3, Canada
We’re excited to announce WORK, a Fashion Show & Runway installation by FOREIGNERZ, exclusive to our 2023 Calgary Pride Sponsorship Gala taking place on August 17 at the Fairmont Palliser.
WORK invites the viewer to consider the currency of our time and think deeply about what it actually means to work. What does it mean to survive in a post-pandemic era, where the politics of aesthetics and desire drive us. In 2023 we are hustlers, movers, shakers, and people who are asked to take on multiple identities to simply exist. With WORK, FOREIGNERZ brings together the roots of Pride, visibility, survival, power, and the ability to create a new future through honest and jubilant relationships to our body, with urgent questions about the politics of labor, a culture of optimization, and human value.
WORK is the second Runway show from the house of FOREIGNERZ with Creative Direction from @jaesterling. WORK will be a multidisciplinary fashion installation that brings together emerging talent from Alberta in the fashion, music, and art space.
As this show is a part of our annual Sponsorship Gala, this event will have a limited quantity of tickets available to the public.
We cannot wait to present FOREIGNERZ vision, and we’ll remind you that for this event, fits ARE required.

Through the Multiverse: Queer Media Today - A lecture by Amy Villarejo
2023-08-29 19:00 - 21:00 | Calgary Central Library, 800 3 St SE, Calgary, AB, T2G 0E7, Canada
While queer narratives and characters appear (ubiquitous) across media and platforms, what kinds of stories claim our attention and interest? What priorities emerge as queer and trans lives are imperiled by assaults by the rabid right? This is less an attempt to survey the field than to take a few inspiring examples by queer and trans makers and submit them for our collective scrutiny and enjoyment.
Amy Villarejo joined UCLA’s Department of Film, Television, and Digital Media in 2020. Her research focuses on queer cinema and media, critical theory, and television; most recently, she has published the 3rd edition of Film Studies: The Basics (Routledge, 2021) and the Oxford Handbook of Queer Cinema (with Ron Gregg, Oxford UP, 2021).

Enter the Drag Dragon Calgary Premiere
2023-09-01 - 2023-09-08 | Cineplex Odeon Eau Claire Market Cinemas, Eau Claire Market, 200 Barclay Parade SW #200, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4R5, Canada
Hello,
I’m writing you from Ottawa – earlier in the year I released my 8th feature film – a Drag-fu, action, comedy, horror, musical entitled “Enter the Drag Dragon”. The film had its world premiere at the Mayfair Theatre in Ottawa, where we had line ups around the block and many sell outs. Cineplex is now releasing the film Nation wide throughout the Summer to coincide with Pride festivities in each city across the country. “Enter the Drag Dragon” will be having a week-long Cineplex premiere engagement in Calgary during the week of Friday, September 1st till Thursday, September 7th at Cineplex Odeon Eau Claire Market Cinemas (Eau Claire Market, 200 Barclay Parade SW #200, Calgary, AB T2P 4R5) to coincide with Calgary Pride.
https://www.cineplex.com/theatre/cineplex-cinemas-park-lane
I am hoping to promote our upcoming week long engagement with Cineplex during some CalgaryPride events. Would that be possible? What is the best way to announce and/or promote our screenings to your guests attending the Calgary Pride Festival?
Here is a short synopsis for the film:
From the people who brought you “Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter” – get ready to go on a Drag-Fu odyssey, filled with face-crunching action, corset-busting comedy, gut-munching horror, and soul-touching musical numbers! You’ve never experienced anything like Enter the Drag Dragon! This blast of true of independent cinema will leave you wobbly in your heels as you try to recover from the non-stop thrill ride of adventure, laughs, screams, and romance.
Please check out our trailer (I attached a poster):

The film is a bit of a media-darling – here is some press we got here in Canada:
The film got an amazing review on CBC by Tom McSorley:
