Excerpt: In 1969 we acquired the use of the D.L. Storey Building on Pinnacle Street, which was formerly the Salvation Army Citadel, now owned by the City of Belleville. We renamed it The Pinnacle Playhouse and it has been the source of our success ever since. The Playhouse(Submitted on December 6, 2024, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)has undergone many transformations, including the initial refit to a 126-seat theatre with a revolving stage. In 198283 the Belleville Theatre Guild, with help from our subscribers, community groups and local and provincial Governments, renovated the Playhouse to increase seating to 154 and to provide much needed production space both onstage and backstage.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, May 30, 20242.
