BRISTOL RIVERSIDE THEATRE

In 1984, The Grundy Foundation, located in Bristol, Pennsylvania, purchased an old pornographic 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.
