Review: Stage West’s WHO’S UNDER WHERE is a True Battle of the Sexes
by Amanda Barnum - Mar 30, 2026

Having never attended a show at the Stage West Theatre here in Calgary, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As a former performer for Jubilations Dinner Theatre, and a fan of Edmonton’s Mayfield Dinner Theatre, I was well versed in what the dinner theatre experience could be.

A nice balance and a great way to spend an evening with friends and loved ones.
