Imagine a time when there were no phones, no cars and no light bulbs – when the land stretched out like a quilted bed and the sky was like an ocean overhead. A lonely young boy named Bern gets lost traveling home from school during a snowstorm. He meets an old woman who has been shunned by the village, and from this chance encounter, Bern makes a discovery – about himself, his family and the importance of compassion.

Bello is based on stories from the Mennonite Ukraine of the 1920s, a world where hard times and struggle are part of daily life, but where the healing powers of humour, love and family ultimately flourish. Set in a fable-like world, Bello is a stunning production, performed in rhythm and rhyme with live sound – much like an old fashioned radio play – with foley (audio) effects presented on stage in full view of the audience.  Bello recently won a Sterling Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement, Theatre for Young Audiences.
