​

Did you know that The Bradley Playhouse was once a thriving movie house for almost 4 decades beginning in the late 1940's through early 1980's?

​

Built in 1901, the Bradley Theatre began as a live entertainment theatre bringing acts from New York City on the New England circuit. Gradually, as movies became more popular, The Bradley Theatre became a movie house with movies like Flying Tiger featuring John Wayne, and Any Number Can Play featuring Clarke Gable projecting onto the Stage here at The Bradley. Now in recent years, our main focus has been bringing Live Theatre to the community!

​

The theatre has also gone by many names over time. The Bradley Theatre, Putnam Opera House, Imperial Theatre, and now The Bradley Playhouse. Throughout all these names, the goal has always stayed the same, to bring joy and entertainment to our community. It is long past time to bring back a piece of our history: Movie Nights to The Bradley!

​

This project has taken many hands, and the financial help of our wonderful community to bring movie nights back to our stage! Renovations have included the Concession area, and the purchase of a new projector and screen. Both expensive endeavors estimated at about $50,000, but we think it will add greatly to the already amazing season schedule here at The Bradley!​

​

The Bradley Playhouse is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and all donations including in-kind donations are tax deductible.  A receipt for your donation can be provided upon request to office@tnect.org.

 

We thank each and everyone of you for your commitment to preserving our

Historic venue for many generations to come!
