Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre, in coordination with Battle of the Bards, presents the first annual KWLT Fundraising dinner

An evening of good food, entertainment and music, with all funds raised going towards the Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre for the rebuilding of it's theatre.

Bards and KWLT, working together with the Castle on King, are offering a night of good food, live entertainment and a chance to do something for the local arts community. Tickets for this evening are $60 each, with a tax receipt for $30. Want to make sure you sit with your friends? We have a number of sizes of tables available, with a table of 4 costing $200.

Doors will open at 5:30 on October 6, with things kicking off at 6pm. Dinner will be at the Castle; where great beer and fantastic food find good friends. An old style restaurant and pub with a modern outlook and a relaxed atmosphere, the Castle is famous for their beer, serving only the finest ales and lagers from select Ontario microbreweries and specialty imports from around the world. It's a unique beer experience for the true connoisseur, and the food matches the excellence in the beer, giving a unique style and vibrancy you won't find anywhere else.

Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre has presented live community theatre in KW for over 75 years. Setting itself apart from the rest of the theatre community, KWLT is an an entry point to anyone interested in the theatre experience. KWLT opens its doors to new inexperienced actors and directors and produces locally written shows. A large number of people involved with KWLT in any given year are enjoying their first acting experience.

On July19th, 2002 our theatre burned to the ground. In just over 15 hours, portions of our 75 year history were destroyed forever. Since then, we have been working through volunteer efforts and donations towards being able to move back into our home theatre. Current estimates with our Rebuild Manager, Chris Rovers, puts the day we can reopen at 9 Princess St. E. in next spring. We've worked hard to get to this point but we know we couldn't have made it without the support of our community.

Since 2002, Battle of the Bards has provided a venue for performers in the Waterloo Region to showcase their skills and talents in friendly competition. In 2008, the Battle of the Bards team began organizing fundraisers for not-for-profit groups that lack the resources to produce their own events. Through these functions, Battle of the Bards hopes to enhance the profile of amateur artistry and entertainment while giving back to our community. Contact us to arrange a Battle of the Bards show on behalf of your organization.
