Side Pieces: A Play Reading Series
At the Pinnacle Playhouse
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).
