Only days to go: Book for 855-FOR-TRUTH Now
...plus: celebrate the end of another Season with us at our Showcase
Truth. Love. The end of the world.
With only days to go until opening night, the countdown is well and truly on.
The Bridge' Theatre’s new original production of 855-FOR-TRUTH by Eva Hudson begins performances on Monday 2 June — and tickets are disappearing fast for this limited run of just 2 weeks.
Set in the woods between Hilldale, Utah and the end of the world, this tender and darkly funny new play follows Meredith, an 18-year-old doomsday believer, and Isaac, a bright-eyed climate activist out to save the planet.
What begins as a clash between two opposing worldviews becomes something far more intimate: a fragile, funny, and deeply human love story. As Meredith and Isaac let down their guards, they discover something rare — the possibility of trust, risk, and connection in the unlikeliest of places.
855-FOR-TRUTH
2–14 June | Berger Court, Ixelles (metro: Porte de Namur)
We have chosen to present 855-FOR-TRUTH in the Berger Court of Stassart House, a building that has been closed for years and was formerly the acting department of the conservatoire. The stunning interior is hidden behind ugly facades in a location very close to Porte de Namur station. 855-FOR-TRUTH is a unique opportunity to discover this beautiful hidden gem.
With only 14 performances in this intimate venue, availability is limited. Book early to avoid disappointment; shows later in the run tend to sell out as word of mouth spreads the news.

Celebrate the Season with our End of Year Showcase
Participants of our current Workshops are busily preparing to perform for you at our Workshop End of Year Showcase in Zinnema, Anderlecht on 21 + 22 June.
We have two entertaining evenings lined up for you, both are a mix of high drama and high kicks as we mix together participants from our acting courses (PLAY Workshops) and our musical theatre course (MUSICAL THEATRE Workshops and SHOW CHOIR).
On Saturday 21 June, join us for an evening of powerful performances beginning with PLAY Intermediate, presenting extracts from Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Desislava Krsteva. Our Show Choir then takes the stage with a vibrant selection of songs from the world of musical theatre, conducted by Edward McMillan. Closing the night, PLAY Elementary presents extracts from Yesterday an Incident Occurred by Mark Ravenhill, directed by Flora Van Canneyt.
On Sunday 22 June, the programme continues with MT Youth, where our youngest participants share their joy and talent in a showcase of musical theatre magic, led by Gaelle Blancmerry. Next, PLAY Advanced brings a fresh take on Chekhov’s Seagull, directed by Henry Regan. We then move into musical theatre, with Beginner + Elementary groups presenting a lively performance inspired by Hairspray, under the direction of Alex Diaconu, with musical direction by Biatriz Drummond and choreography by Heidi Chadjideris. The evening concludes with the Intermediate + Advanced musical theatre students performing numbers inspired by Chicago, Into the Woods, and A Chorus Line, again under the creative team of Alex Diaconu, Biatriz Drummond, and Heidi Chadjideris.
The full line-up, including performers, can be found on our website: https://thebridge.brussels/workshop-showcase
The Showcases are stand alone evenings and tickets for each can be bought separately. We also have a special rate for those of you wanting to come to see both Showcases.
