GOD OF CARNAGE | Sponsorship Package

GOD OF CARNAGE  ·  IN FARSI  ·  OCT 3 & 4, 2026  ·  VERTIGO THEATRE

Put your brand in the room where civility falls apart.

Roommate Art presents GOD OF CARNAGE by Yasmina Reza — the Tony and Olivier Award-winning dark comedy in which two couples meet to settle a playground scuffle between their sons, and unravel into something far funnier and far more savage. Performed in Farsi across three showtimes on October 3 & 4, 2026, staged at Vertigo Theatre at the base of the Calgary Tower — one of the city's most recognized and best-appointed performance venues.

For a sponsor, this is a rare combination: a full weekend of Calgary's Persian-speaking community gathered in a downtown landmark theatre, in a setting where they are relaxed, engaged, and paying attention — an audience that ordinary advertising almost never reaches this directly.

The Production

A modern classic, staged intimately — where the audience sits close enough to catch every flinch.

The Play

GOD OF CARNAGE — Yasmina Reza's razor-edged comedy of manners. Eleven-year-old boys fight in a park. Their parents meet like diplomats over coffee and clafoutis. Within ninety minutes the coffee is gone, the diplomacy is gone, and four immaculately reasonable adults are behaving worse than their children.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, performed worldwide and adapted for film by Roman Polanski. Roommate Art's production is performed in Farsi for Calgary's Persian-speaking audience.

Dates & Showtimes

  • Sat, Oct 3Two evening performances
  • Sun, Oct 4One evening performance
  • Curtainapprox. 6:00 & 8:00 PM

Exact curtain times are being finalized with the venue and will be confirmed on the ticketing page. Three showtimes over one weekend means three separate audiences — and three activation windows for your brand.

Why This Audience Matters

  • Calgary's Iranian community, in one room. Performed in Farsi — the audience is exactly the market most Persian-owned businesses here are trying to reach.
  • Adults, couples and parents. Families, professionals and homeowners: the decision-makers for real estate, immigration, insurance, dental, legal and financial services.
  • Word of mouth that actually travels. In a close, high-trust community, being seen supporting Persian-language arts is worth more than an ad impression.
  • Themes everyone recognizes. Children, marriage, pride and appearances — the comedy lands hard with an Iranian-Canadian audience.

The Venue: Vertigo Theatre

Your logo doesn't just appear at an event. It appears at one of Calgary's best addresses.

At the base of the Calgary Tower

Vertigo Theatre sits directly beneath the Calgary Tower at 115 – 9 Avenue SE — the most photographed corner of the city, in the heart of the downtown core, minutes from the 7th Avenue CTrain corridor, the Palliser, Arts Commons and Stephen Avenue.

It is a purpose-built professional theatre with a proper lobby, licensed bar, and the production standards that come with a permanent home venue — not a rented hall. Audiences arrive early, drink, mingle, and linger. That lobby dwell time is where sponsor activations actually work.

  • Landmark address — the Calgary Tower is a destination for locals and visitors alike, with year-round downtown foot traffic.
  • Professional presentation — full lighting, sound, and front-of-house, so brand assets are displayed to a high standard.
  • Real lobby & licensed bar — a pre-show and intermission window for sampling, kiosks, and face-to-face contact.
  • Accessible & central — transit-adjacent with abundant downtown parking, which broadens who can attend.
  • A statement of quality — staging a Farsi-language production at a venue of this calibre signals seriousness, and that credibility extends to every brand on the bill.

Strategic Value for Sponsors

We build data-driven sponsorship packages designed to maximize your brand's return —
not simple logo placement.

A Farsi-speaking audience of adults, couples and families, reached three times over one weekend in a downtown landmark venue — plus 10K+ social followers and 800+ email subscribers in the same community.
