Bucket Brigade Theater: What We Share

Bucket Brigade is about sharing stories- stories that connect us and remind us that, despite our differences, there is so much that we share.

Right now it feels important to share space, share a laugh, share our joys and sorrows- to be reminded of each other’s humanity, dignity and inherent worth. Sure we have our differences, our opposing opinions, even our disparate deeply held convictions, but theater invites us into a shared experience where we see each other and see ourselves in each other. It gives us a place to meet, to start, to find some common ground from which we can have further conversations.

Giving Update: Holy moly! Thanks to the generosity of 51 donors we've blown past our year end goal of $10k to the tune of $18,078! We are beside ourselves with gratitude! Talk about a burst of energy going into the New Year! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your inspiring, energizing generosity! Because of it we will be able to continue to share stories and create meaningful theater experiences that connect us.

Thank you, friends, for sharing in this good work with us and for celebrating What We Share.

Here's what we will be sharing in 2022!

• Jan. 28th-Feb. 19th. Our 10th Anniversary Production of ’Til Death: A Marriage Musical! Share some laughs, some tears, and some deeelicious cupcakes made by our neighborhood bakery, Brake Bread as we celebrate ten hilarious, heart-warming years of ’Til Death!

• Mid/late April. Our 4th Annual Spring Smorgasbord! Join us as we share a tasty variety of good music, good stories and good food for our spring fundraiser concert!

• Late April/early May. Souvenir, the play with music by Stephen Temperley. Directed by Jeff Miller, featuring the one-the-only Vanessa Gamble as the infamous opera-singer-who-couldn’t-sing, Florence Foster Jenkins, and the inimitable Michael Pearce Donley as her flamboyant accompanist, Cosmo. Come share some laughs with us as we produce this off-broadway/broadway hit! “A beguiling comic jewel with a heart.” —Variety.

• Mid/Late July. Summer Theater Camps- where student artists Grades 1-12 share what’s on their minds and in their hearts through original, topical theater.

Bucket Brigade is a fiscally sponsored program of Springboard for the Arts – a Saint Paul based non-profit that provides sponsorship for arts groups that are not ready to become tax-exempt nonprofit organizations. In other words, they make it possible for groups like us to receive tax-deductible grants and donations as we grow.
