Act Locally: One-Act Plays by Local Playwrights

Theatre in the Wings 30 Bridge Street East, Belleville

Join us for three engaging and entertaining one-act plays by local playwrights brought to life by some of the region’s finest actors. The Quinte Region is fast becoming a hotbed of play writing excellence…and we’ve got the proof. From bittersweet to poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these three plays by Belleville playwrights are sure to have our audiences talking about them long after they’ve left the theatre. “Driving” by Steve Billinger is timely and masterfully written with dialogue as sharp as a knife. It’s an intense tour de force throwing two disparate men together in a sometimes uncomfortable conversation that neither one can escape from. “The Business Behind Us” by Matthew Sheahan is deceptively complex. With finely drawn characters, it’s both a modern morality tale and a mystery wrapped in a seemingly ordinary family story. “After Graduation” by Beth Milligan is short and sweet and as funny as…well…you’ll just have to see it. A master of writing plays that are fun for both actors and audiences, Beth has truly outdone herself with this one. Support local theatre and local writers. See all three plays for one price. That’s a bargain. Tickets are $25 on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/act-locally-tickets-1613028925939

Belleville Theatre Guild: Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks

Pinnacle Playhouse 256 Pinnacle Street, Belleville

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks is a touching and human comedy about a formidable retired woman, Lily Harrison, who hires an acerbic dance instructor, Michael Minetti, to give her private dance lessons —one per week for six weeks— in her condo in Florida. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two people from different backgrounds reveal their secrets, fears, and joys while dancing.
