The new initiative, Belfry on Film, brought these stories and more to a virtual format due to COVID-19 restrictions
In response to the pandemic, the Belfry Theatre launched Belfry on Film an initiative to bring recorded plays to remote audiences. The premiere production of this initiative is Joel Bernbaum’s newest play,
Being Here: the Refugee Project.
Being Here, which ran from March 16-21, is a dramatization of interviews conducted across Canada with refugees and refugee sponsors.
Mark Dusseault, the director of marketing and communications for the Belfry, told the Martlet that Belfry on Film arose as a pandemic response.
