1939 to close November 10, 2024

The Belfry Theatre audiences have been responding enthusiastically to 1939, a production we are proud to have on our stage. After a successful run, great reviews, and positive feedback,we have sadly made the difficult decision to end the run on Sunday, November 10, due to serious health and wellness concerns within the cast.

1939 was part of a larger response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Its creation was guided by extensive consultations with Indigenous Elders and Survivors and tells important stories of continued anti-Indigenous racism and systemic cultural erasure through Residential Schools.

We thank our audiences, sponsors, and all who have supported this production. The Belfry will offer a refund all ticket holders who are impacted by this situation. Box Office will be in contact.

We look forward to seeing you at the Belfry for our next production.

Thank you for your support.
