In 1987, a group of Belfast thespians got together and under the direction of Basil Burwell, produced their first play, St. George and the Dragon. Shortly after that the group organized as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization called Belfast Maskers with the mission to provide quality theater with and for the community. The Belfast Maskers has performed continuously for twenty years. We are taking the time to consider our history, our community, and our vision for a vibrant future for the organization. As we begin this ambitious planning process we need your input. The information you provide in this survey is confidential and will be used to craft plans for a sustainable organization. We appreciate your time, honesty, and candor. Thank you. Please feel free to forward the survey invitation to other community members who may want to include themselves in this effort.

Here is the link to our survey. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete. If you have any trouble accessing it let us know and we will send you a fresh link.
