    Why is live theatre important?

    For over thirty years, Gallery 7 Theatre has dedicated itself to sharing stories and exploring themes that inspire hope, reconciliation, and redemption. In those years, we’ve produced well over 100 productions, ranging from sketch revues to big Broadway musicals. We continue to provide an edifying, professional and fun space where recreational and professional artists, technicians and theatre-lovers can come together to learn, grow and above all, make beautiful and meaningful theatre for the entire community to enjoy.

    The true cost of putting on quality theatre is simply not reflected in the cost of a ticket. If it were, no one would be able to afford to attend. With record inflation and our vision to become a hub of artistic activity and ingenuity in the Fraser Valley, costs keep going up. But, through the support of grants, sponsorships, and donations from very generous individuals such as yourselves, we can continue providing affordable theatre for the heart, soul and mind that brings emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and social health to our community for the next thirty years!

    The theme for our new season is ‘Heart of Community’. During it, we’ll be exploring community as it’s experienced through family, faith, friendship, romance and on the broader social scale. It takes a community to create live-giving theatre, and I invite you to be an integral member of the G7 community by renewing your support or by becoming a new donor. The bigger the donor pool, the bigger the party!

    Oh, and did someone say cake?

    Our Christmas goal is to raise $15,000 by December 31st. For every $1,000 received, we’ll add a present to Santa's sleigh. Check our social media from time to time to see the progress we’re making. When we reach $15k by December 31st, you’ll see the sleigh full of presents for the whole community…we just need you to help us get there.
