Betrayal at The Belfry 

Catch the Belfry’s newest production!

A woman, her husband and her lover are caught in a game of cat and mouse.

Who’s wise to whom—and who will pay the price for their acts of betrayal?

Widely regarded as one of Nobel Prize winner Pinter’s best works, Betrayal unfolds in reverse, coolly dissecting a seven-year affair from after the final breakup to the first kiss.

Tickets are pay-what-you-can and can be purchased here.

• Where: The Belfry Theatre, 1291 Gladstone Avenue
• When: Tuesday, October 27th – 7:30 p.m.

Opening day of Exper!mental at Gage Gallery

Join 10 Gage artists as they push through their boundaries and explore the space(s) beyond their usual artistic practices.

Exper!mental is a celebration of that which lies at the core of human creativity: the willingness to risk failure in pursuit of the new and delightful.

The Gage Gallery is always free to attend.

• Where: Gage Gallery, 19 Bastion Square
• When: Tuesday, October 27th – 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

History of Concrete at The Vic Theatre

Catch a rousing (and a little cheeky) documentary about concrete!

After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, filmmaker John Wilson attempts to utilize the same commercial formula to create and sell a documentary about the history of concrete.

The project evolves into a humorous and philosophical exploration of urbanism, the built environment, and the mundane textures of American life.

Tickets are $14.29 and can be purchased here.

• Where: The Vic Theatre, 808 Douglas Street
• When: Tuesday, October 27th – 7:15 p.m.
