Coming soon - Side Pieces: John Gabriel Borkman
Saturday, May 2nd at 7:30PM
The Belleville Theatre Guild's Side Pieces is a series of one-night play readings featuring a selection of critically acclaimed plays – currently running or having just completed runs in NYC, London, and Toronto. This is a chance to enjoy a dynamic reading of a play that might not be feasible for a full run at the Pinnacle Playhouse, either due to production limitations or content that is not as mainstream as other Belleville Theatre Guild productions. These plays are geared to 14+ audiences (both for language and content).
Show Synopsis:
John Gabriel Borkman, once an illustrious entrepreneur, has been brought low by a prison sentence for fraud. As he paces alone in an upstairs room, bankrupt and disgraced, he is obsessed by dreams of his comeback. Downstairs, his estranged wife plots the restoration of the family name. When her sister arrives unannounced, she triggers a desperate showdown with the past. Henrik Ibsen's most contemporary play and his penultimate, John Gabriel Borkman is gripping, penetrating and savagely funny.
Coming Soon: 'Sister act'
June 11th - 28th, 2026
*Tickets are selling fast!
When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover.
Please note that we have added two additional shows for Sister Act outside of its standard run:
Wednesday, June 17th 7:30PM
Wednesday, June 24th 7:30PM

Theatre August One Act Play Festival 2026
Sound Designers Needed for Theatre August
No experience needed - a great time to learn!
Already dreading hot August nights? Come stay cool with us and learn a new skill. We’re looking for sound designers and operators for Theatre August, which takes to the Pinnacle Playhouse's stage August 27, 28, 29 and 30.
Sound designers and operators will be asked to do the following within their role:
- Working with directors of the One Act plays, you will assemble music cues and sound effects from various online resources to meet the needs of the plays.
- You will learn how to program a show using our Show Cue Systems software. Programming sound cues is ensuring they are in the correct order, duration, volume, etc.
- The designer attends rehearsals to learn the show and specifically attends the technical and Cue to Cue rehearsals to make last minute changes.
- As a sound designer, you will also serve as a sound board operator as well. This means you you will play the music and sound effect cues you programmed from the technical booth at the back of the auditorium. There will be a stage manager present to dictate when lighting and sound cues are played for precision.
- Knowledge of Windows 11, Audacity audio editing software, musically inclined are assets.
Where being generally comfortable with a computer is needed as a foundation, none of the before mentioned knowledge of software is a must. Our Theatre August One Act Festival is a program where we specifically try to mentor and offer support for members looking to gain new skills.
Please email Gerry Fraiberg, BTG Technical Director, to express interest and ask questions.
