Thank You Strategic Group: ATP’s 50th Anniversary Season Sponsor
“Live performances let us examine who we are, where we have come from, and who we aspire to be.”
Arts champion Riaz Mamdani on the importance of theatre and art in our community.
Having closed the book on our landmark 50th Anniversary Season here at Alberta Theatre Projects, we looked back on a year that celebrated our history, future, and the people who bring our stories to life. With a lineup that included The Seafarer, Charlotte’s Web, King James, and Liars at a Funeral, the 2024-25 season honoured five decades of bold, imaginative, and community-rooted theatre on the Martha Cohen stage.
A season this meaningful was made possible by many—but especially by the generous support of key partners like Riaz Mamdani and Strategic Group, our returning Season Sponsor.
A Calgary-based business leader in real estate and investing and a passionate supporter of the arts, Riaz is deeply committed to both the physical and cultural fabric of our city. Through his leadership at Strategic Group and his long-standing support of Alberta Theatre Projects, Riaz helped ensure our 50th Anniversary Season would be a powerful celebration of what live theatre can achieve.
“The theatre allows us to share in a connection like no other – with creative artists, each other, and ourselves. Live performances let us examine who we are, where we have come from, and who we aspire to be.” – Riaz Mamdani
Since the 2021-22 Season, Riaz and Strategic Group have championed ATP in numerous ways, including key sponsorship and as the lead supporter of the Alberta House Party for the Arts in 2022. This past year, their continued investment helped ATP create memorable experiences for our audiences, artists, and community.
“Riaz Mamdani and Strategic Group understand that theatre is a vital part of community life. Their support allowed us to open our doors wider, inviting more people into our theatre and ensuring our 50th Anniversary Season reflected the voices, values, and spirit of Calgary.” – Haysam Kadri, Creative Director at ATP
We are grateful to Riaz for his commitment to helping ATP make a difference by supporting our artists, designers, and all aspects of our productions.
