Thank YOU!
Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who helped us during this season so far. Cast, crews, orchestras, Nightmare on State Street Haunted House spooks and YAB-bers!
A year end note . . . As we come to the close of another year here, we are amazed at all the fantastic things that we have been a part of at Theatre Bristol. Though we have had more events than we can possibly recount, we would like to make mention of a few items that are particularly noteworthy. With fantastic acoustics and an enviable venue space, Theatre Bristol became stage to a wonderful concert series offering genres such as rock, folk, bluegrass, gospel and more. We are thrilled to continue to be able to enhance the already strong musical tradition here in Bristol and hope you will take advantage of the concerts we have in the coming months. In addition, we hosted another tremendously successful Nightmare on State Street haunted house with the overwhelming help of our Youth Advisory Board. The Haunted House is not only a fun way for us to introduce Theatre Bristol to an unfamiliar community, but also gives our young volunteers an opportunity to be a part of a fantastic production experience from the ground up. 2011 marked the first year of Lord of the Wings, a buffalo wing competition between select restaurants in the Tri-Cities. The event was a first for us, but was met with resounding community support. And lest we not forget our marvelous theatrical productions this year. We kicked off 2011 with You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown and Rumpelstiltskin and are underway with a full slate of productions December thru June.
In addition to all of our large events, Theatre Bristol also lent their volunteer and staff support to Believe in Bristol’s Who Art You summer camp, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, King College’s Twin City Radio Theatre Group, Downtown Christmas Open House, Pumpkin Palooza, the Art and Entertainment District’s State of the Arts Kid’s Day, Bristol Ballet, Russell County’s Mountain Youth Drama, and Bristol Crisis Center. We firmly believe that there is much to be gained through collaboration.
It is with this collaboration in mind that we would like to ask you to continue collaborating with us at Theatre Bristol. Like many other arts organizations across the country, we have been faced with a downward trending economy as well as a serious decrease in government funding. Sadly, these fiscal changes have driven other long-standing art-based businesses to close their doors, leaving their communities with an unfillable void. We play such a strong and vital role in the arts community here in Bristol, won’t you please continue to make our mission a reality. Often people don’t give anything because they feel like what they can donate won’t make a difference, when, in fact, if everyone who had been in a show or came to see a Theatre Bristol show (164,000+ people in the last 10 years alone) gave $10, $25, $50 or even $100 each year – the results would be a continued strong and vital Theatre Bristol for years to come.
Please consider giving to Theatre Bristol and help us keep the doors open for another 46 years! Hope to see you soon at a show or an audition, until then – “I can’t, I have rehearsal!”
Stay tuned for upcoming concert dates

(Bristol) Theatre Bristol will continue to bring in bands around our regular season of shows with a series of music events sure to keep your toes tapping! It’s not your typical noisy, smoke-filled bar. “A private listening room” “a show like atmosphere,” “Great Space!” are all comments from past bands that have graced Theatre Bristol’s stage. “It’s an eclectic mix of music genres with something for everyone who loves music and a great opportunity to hear new and unique acts not typically found in our area” according to Spence Flagg, Theatre Bristol’s board president. Concerts are at 8:00 p.m., with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Click on "Register" in the upper right hand corner to receive email updates!
