Belfry 101
Comments from past students
“…personally helped me to adopt a critical mindset when watching shows and applying what I learned in real-life situations…”
“I have never had such an opportunity to meet such talented people, and have so much fun putting our creativity and ideas into a production. [It] really opened my mind, allowing my imagination to prosper.”
“The Belfry 101 Program has inspired and taught me so many things about myself, others, and the theatre. Not only was it a chance to see great theatre, but a place to discuss it, and gain more from the show than one might have without it. I have learned so much about theatre and made some great new friends.”
“This program has been helpful in so many ways I don’t know where to begin; building self-esteem when it comes to performing, feeling included in a part of the theatre community, helping broaden my knowledge of the arts in general…”
“A great way to meet new people with the same interests. An environment free of judgment.”
Our signature educational program has been enhanced and divided into two new sections: Belfry 201 and Belfry 301. Open to students in Grades 11 and 12, through application, this programme provides a safe environment in which young people can gain an understanding of professional theatre and the creation process, and explore themes of humanity and social issues addressed in the season’s productions.
Belfry 201
Students meet after school for two Thursdays per production, to learn new theatre skills, see the plays, meet the actors, and discuss each play’s themes and images, and how they relate to the world around them.
Belfry 301
Students participate in the Belfry 201 sessions, plus extended skill enhancing sessions, and a third Thursday of play-building exercises. During March Break, Belfry 301 students work together to create a piece of theatre that will be presented on the Belfry Mainstage as the ultimate event in our SPARK Festival.
Participation in Belfry 201 and 301 is by application (forms available here). The program runs from September to May. The students pay only $50 ($10 /performance).
