Theatre Bristol is extremely excited about its 59th Season and continuing to grow upon its success. We thank our sponsors and audiences for supporting our community, cast and crew. Like previous seasons, the shows we have selected for 2024 hold true to our mission of providing quality family-friendly live theatre for the citizens of our region and performance opportunities for children, youth and adults. Our major musical productions at The Paramount Center for the Performing Arts and ARTspace shows the past eight years have met with praise and returning and growing audiences.
Theatre Bristol has played a leading role in bringing live theatre to the children and families of this region since it was founded in 1965 by Cathy DeCaterina. It was Cathy’s dream to make a difference in the lives of children through the power of theatre and the arts. That is a dream we are still committed to today, and we welcome you to share this commitment.
Currently, we are an organization that depends on volunteers, under the direction of the board of directors and with help from tireless volunteers who help make each show happen. We are a community theatre, run by people from our community. We produce our shows with an emphasis on quality and a premium on economy. Even with the priority to keep production costs low, there are still “the costs of doing business”–royalties, rentals, design and creation costs, promotional costs, utilities, etc. and we depend on sponsorships. Would you consider being a sponsor of our mission? Please be a part of helping us bring our 2024 Season to the stage and take a look at our sponsorship opportunities.
Please contact us and we will be glad to answer any questions: 423-212-3625, or info@theatrebristol.org. Please also feel free to pass this information along to anyone you think might be interested. Thank you for supporting your community theatre–and don’t forget to make plans to see the shows!
