Fernwood Square
More infoThe Belfry stages contemporary, mostly Canadian work inside a converted 1890s Fernwood church so intimate the actors skip microphones entirely. You feel every line, which is thrilling or alarming depending on the play, and either way you will have opinions afterward. Fernwood Square sits right outside with the pubs to handle your post-show decompression. Arrive early for a lobby-bar glass.
Arrive early enough for a glass in the lobby bar, because this is theatre at conversation distance, the actors don't even bother with mics inside the converted 1890s church. Expect about two and a half hours of contemporary, mostly Canadian work that'll hand you a built-in second act. When the lights come up, walk straight into Fernwood Square and let a nearby pub host the great post-show argument.
