Love runs deep in Theatre Bristol’s 55th season. From new romance to love for family, community, country and society, the season is full of laughs and heart-warming moments for the whole family, as well as thought-provoking and important reflection and connection.
The season kicks off with “She Loves Me,” the award-winning romantic comedy musical inspired by the same story that brought “You’ve Got Mail” to the screen — though here love letters are exchanged to beautiful music in a 1930s perfumery. Celebrate Valentine’s with “She Loves Me,” weekends Feb. 7-16. Auditions are Dec. 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Theatre Bristol’s fourth River’s Way collaboration follows March 14 and 15 in the ARTspace, with “Real Heroes” written and directed by Dottie Havlik and performed by differently abled young people and Theatre Bristol veterans.
Weekends April 17-26, “Jack and the Beanstalk” comes to the ARTspace stage. Auditions for men, women and children are Feb. 25, 26, 27 and 28. Rehearsals begin March 8.
One of the most popular musicals of all time, “The Sound of Music,” comes to the Paramount Center for the Arts weekends June 19-28. Auditions for men, women and children are March 21, 28, 29 and 30. Rehearsals begin April 27.
Theatre Bristol’s annual The Start of Adventure summer camp for kindergarten through eighth grade runs July 6-10. Registration begins in February at www.TheatreBristol.org.
