Bellingham Theatre Guild

The Bellingham Theatre Guild, one of several community theatres, is one of the oldest continuously running theaters on the west coast. It has been operating since 1929, and since 1944 has been located at the old Congregational Church on G Street. The old church was purchased from Aimee Semple McPherson, the colorful founder of the Foursquare Church.

I try to get to a show at the Theatre Guild once or twice a year. Yesterday I enjoyed their take on the farce "Taking Steps," by Alan Ayckbourn. It was quite funny-- a good, local show for the price of a movie ticket.
