Original Community Theatre!
On stage since 1969, the Borelians
Community Theatre was founded by a group of teachers with
a commitment to staging quality amateur theatre by presenting
Canadian theatre work and contemporary classics. The name
Borelians derives from the village of Borelia, now a part
of Port Perry. The Borelians’ first play, You Can’t
Take it With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, was performed
at the Port Perry High School in 1970. Today, the volunteer
Board of the Borelians, remains committed to excellence in
theatre, producing classic and contemporary works that challenge,
educate and, above all, entertain their audiences.
Members of ACT-CO
(Association of Community Theatres – Central Region)
since 1983, the Borelians have regularly participated in the
annual ACT-CO Theatre Festival, receiving numerous THEA Awards
and nominations over the years. These awards recognize the
impressive talent and commitment of the group’s members
in all areas of production and include Best Play awards for
Nurse Jane Goes To Hawaii (1984), Nobody Loves a Dragon (1988),
Night of January Sixteenth ( 1993), Ten Lost Years (1998),
All My Sons (2000) and most recently, Hay Fever (2006).Both,
"Nobody Loves A Dragon" and "Ten Lost Years"
picked up further top honours, winning the Elsie for Outstanding
Production at the provincial level at the Theatre
Ontario Festival.
Producing award-winning theatre requires the talents and energies
of many individuals and the Borelians always welcome new members.
Anyone interested in any or all aspects of theatre production
may join the group, which provides regular workshop opportunities
in acting and technical skills. In 2007, the Borelians launched
understudy and apprentice programs to encourage the development
of actors, stage crew, technicians and designers. Each year
the Borelians presents two bursaries to local high schools,
dedicated to post secondary theatre/radio-television studies.
The Borelians also support the development of new audiences
for the long-term benefit of community theatre by offering
a variety of theatre experiences to individuals, groups and
schools. Dinner theatre, weekday school matinees and participation
in eyeGO to the Arts (a not-for-profit program which provides
affordable theatre and concert tickets to high school students)
are only some of the ways the Borelians strive to bring the
best in community theatre to as many people as possible.
