Join the Belmont Dramatic Club for our first ever festival of short plays: The Show Must Go On!

ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on our available records, The Show Must Go On is the FIRST festival of short original works since the founding of the Belmont Dramatic Club in 1903. With this production, you are becoming part of our history, and breaking new ground for BDC!

In this production, multiple directors will take on nine short plays written by New England area playwrights. Each piece takes a different look at the ways in which we “perform” in our lives, and what it means to go on when life is disrupted. There are a couple of glimpses behind the curtain for actual theatre performances that go awry, as well!
