Belleville Theatre Guild’s 66th Season

Welcome to our website!

The Belleville Theatre Guild is Belleville’s Community theatre. We’ve been around since 1951 which puts us into our 66th consecutive year. We are proud to bring outstanding theatre to our community at prices that are affordable for all. We provide locals with opportunities for actors, writers, musicians, technicians, designers, builders, painters, seamstresses, artists, and every other required field needed to put together a production. We have a wonderful 2017/18 Season planned for you.

John Patrick’s The Curious Savage is our ‘chestnut’ for this season. A tale of greed gone wild, this whimsical tale seems to have more meaning today than when it was first written in 1950. It was first produced on Broadway that year starring Lillian Gish as Mrs. Savage! When she finds herself committed to an institution by her money grubbing step-children, so they can have access to her immense fortune, she also finds herself among a company of very odd people. The inhabitants of the insane institution are wise and pure of spirit despite their difficulties in dealing with reality!

The musical for this season’s grand finale is Irving Berlin’s amazing, Annie Get your Gun. “There’s No Business like Show Business” thunders throughout this work, just one of the gems of musical genius Berlin wrote for this production. The plot follows the true story of the life of backwoods gal, Annie Oakley, whose amazing feats with a rifle made her a national celebrity in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Her romance and rivalry with fellow sharp shooter and star, Frank Butler, gives rise to many hilarious tunes, “Your can’t get a man with a Gun”, “ Anything you can do I can do better”, “I got the Sun in the Morning and the Moon at Night” and “Doin what comes Naturally” will have you laughing the night away.

We have a wonderful line up for our season and look forward to sharing it with you. Be sure to book your season’s subscription – the best deal in town. Five plays for $80.00 , $75.00 for seniors simply can’t be beat. You can use our website to book or call our Box Office to place your order: (613) 967-1442.

Have a great time at our performances; you know we are!

Synopsis:

"We have found a forgotten gem! This gentle and whimsical story seems to have even more meaning in  these days of 50 million dollar lotteries and greed gone wild. When Mrs. Savage finds herself committed to an “institution” by her grasping step-children so they can access her immense fortune, she also finds herself among most curious company...an asylum of the wise and pure of spirit, even if they have difficulty dealing with the real world."
