Company Description

Bristol Riverside Theatre is a mid‑sized regional theatre whose mission is to engage audiences and artists with exceptional performances, inspired writing, and superior productions that motivate us to think harder, to feel more deeply, to laugh more joyfully, and to reflect on ourselves and the world in which we live. Located in historic Bristol Borough, the theatre has a full‑time staff of 14 employees, with most senior staff having been with the organization for at least 10 years. BRT is deeply rooted in its community, has long‑term relationships within the town, and is proud of its role as the cultural hub of Bristol Borough. Annually, BRT produces a mainstage season of 5 plays and musical, a presented season of 4‑8 productions, The William Penn Bank Summer Music Fest (9 weekends of music in two venues), and has robust new play development and education programming. Last year, the leadership structure changed from an Artistic Director/Managing Director model to one led by two Co‑Producers, each responsible for a portion of the annual producing portfolio. The new leadership is emphasizing a commitment to new play development and serving a diverse community with stories that address the breadth of the human experience. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
