Thank You
Together, you’ve unlocked more than $386,000 for new Canadian plays
When we launched our Matching Gift Campaign this spring, we hoped our community would join our lead donors in making a significant investment in new Canadian plays.
And you did.
Two hundred and forty-two gifts. More than $386,000 for new play development at the Blyth Festival.
We are enormously grateful.
What does your support make possible?
We could tell you. But we thought you might rather hear it from one of the artists who knows.

Shelayna Christante
Actor Shelayna Christante first came to Blyth in 2024. Now in her third season with the Festival, she talks about what those three summers have meant to her — as an artist, and as a member of this remarkable theatre community.
From all of us at Blyth: thank you.
To our lead donors, who gave this campaign its extraordinary start; to everyone who answered our letters and emails; to those who heard about the campaign at the theatre and decided to join in; and to everyone who told a friend, shared our story or simply cheered us on:
Thank you for believing in new Canadian plays.
We can’t wait to show you what comes next!
