t Bert Church LIVE Theatre we are “thinking outside the stage” and adjusting to the challenges COVID-19 has presented. After cancelling the remainder of our 2019/2020 presenting series, we have been working hard to continue to connect the Airdrie community to the arts.
“We are excited to think outside the box when it comes to offering an authentic arts experience for Airdrie”
As we plan for the future and how next year’s presenting series plays out, we have focused efforts on creating an engaging online presence so audiences continue to delve into the artistic experience in one form or another. We want to ensure that residents continue to turn to us for an amazing artistic experience, whether that is on the live stage, or through other platforms we are exploring. HERE’S HOW… Social Media: We have weekly content coming out to spark your creative side. From ‘Makeup Mondays’ where we ask our audiences to submit their

creations for us to take from paper to face, or our behind-the-scenes at BCLT videos, to our previous season playlists, we are curating content for our audiences to enjoy while we take a short break from the stage. Follow us on Facebook @bertchurchtheatre, Twitter @TheBCLT and Instagram @thebertchurchlivetheatre. 948-ARTS Podcast: Stay tuned for our brand-new podcast coming out where we explore all things arts in Airdrie, as well as connect the community to the greater art world with interviews and more. We are thrilled to offer this behind-the-scenes perspective on the creative process from idea to completion. Getting to Know Our People: There have been some changes in the team at Bert Church LIVE Theatre over the last year and we wanted to share a bit about some key members of our amazing staff that make our community events and performances, presenting series and programs such a success! Get to know a little bit about what brought them here, what inspires them and what the arts mean to each of them. Although our upcoming season is bound to look different from previous years, we are excited to think outside the box when it comes to offering an authentic arts experience for Airdrie. We can’t wait to experience the arts with you in one form or another, Airdrie. The show will go on; it’s only intermission. life
