Bristol Riverside Theatre

In 1984, The Grundy Foundation, located in Bristol, Pennsylvania, purchased an old movie house on the Delaware River, and invested over one million dollars to transform it into a state-of-the-art theater in the riverfront park. The finished theater combined the exciting possibilities of a large stage with the intimacy of a 300-seat theater, along with outstanding lighting and sound technology. The Grundy Foundation offered the theater to Repertory Theatre of Bucks County (REPCO), a company dedicated to developing new plays and playwrights, and Bucks County's first Equity Regional Theatre was born as the Bristol Riverside Theatre. Since 1986, the Bristol Riverside Theatre (BRT) has brought consistently acclaimed professional theater to Bucks County,and maintained a long-term commitment to finding and developing new plays. BRT has developed such new works as country music star Larry Gatlin's musicals Alive and Well (And Livin' in the Land of Dreams) and Texas Flyer; Jules Tasca's critically acclaimed and Barrymore Award-winning drama The Balkan Women; Mark Medoff's The Majestic Kid, and Garson Kanin's Happy Ending, and Shielah Rae, Thomas Edward West, and Michele Brourman's I Married Wyatt Earp.
