The Invisible - Agents of Ungentlemanly Warfare

After successful tours to Keyano Theatre (Fort McMurray), Vertigo Theatre (Calgary), The York Theatre (Vancouver), London, Ontario (The Grand Theatre), Catalyst’s newest musical tour-de-force, THE INVISIBLE — Agents of Ungentlemanly Warfare, is ready to storm Edmonton starting September 26 until October 5 at the iconic Eva O. Howard Theatre in Victoria School for the Arts. After this run, the show will tour to Vernon, Saskatoon, and Regina.

In 2020 this hit musical appeared in Edmonton’s Maclab Theatre, blowing away audiences during a sold out run. Four years later, Catalyst Theatre brings it back to a local theatre used by students who would eventually be sent to fight in the same war as the characters in the show.

Receiving a record breaking nine Betty Mitchell Award nominations and winning three for Outstanding New Play, Outstanding Costume Design, and Outstanding Lighting Design, along with seven Elizabeth Sterling Haynes nominations, winning Outstanding Production of a Musical, THE INVISIBLE is inspired by the stories of real-life female Special Operation Executives (SOE) in World War II.

France. 1940. After months of training and successful missions, the Invisible are sent on one of their most dangerous missions to date. Seven exceptional female operatives risk their lives to fight a dangerous war of sabotage, propaganda, and espionage — breaking new ground and defying expectations, these women achieve the impossible, helping to bring down the greatest threat of their time, only to go completely unseen.

This genre-busting mash-up of historical research, film-noir, graphic novels, and musical theatre is a contemporary portrait of the brave women who risked their lives to fight a dangerous war of sabotage, propaganda, & espionage during WWII.
