Marley Bridges Theatre Company: Suspending Disbelief & Spanning the Ages
Formerly known as the Beechwood Theatre Company, the Marley Bridges Theatre Company (MBTC) operates under the Beechwood Foundation, a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to fostering the arts, arts education, and historic preservation throughout Newport County. Partners-in-crime Patrick Grimes and Jessica Bradley Chace are the heart and soul of the MBTC. They have been nomadic since leaving Bellevue Avenue and proudly collaborate with the community to create affordable and accessible theatre.
MBTC specializes in interactive, historical, and educational theatrical programming, with a forte for situational and site-specific entertainment. Its mission includes offering Rhode Islanders and visitors alike engaging and enriching affordable entertainment, as well as providing educational workshops in improvisation and acting to area schools at little or no cost. Moneys raised through performances help fund arts programs in our community - from musical instruments for struggling band programs to grants for original works in the performing arts.
Part of MBTC's programming is through our sister organization, Newport Murder Mystery, which offers year-round interactive murder mystery experiences in a mansion, on the rails, and at sea. We also offer 3-Day Mystery Experiences with the Architect's Inn for three days of intrigue, role-playing, fine dining, and luxury in an historic Newport B&B.
MBTC is dedicated to:
Building community collaboration with creative programming and interactive theatre
Revitalizing and preserving Newport's social history through theatre and reenactments
Inspiring future performers and artists to practice and share their talents
Developing and producing original scripts written by Rhode Islanders
Giving everyone the opportunity to play, imagine & experience the magic of make-believe
Educating and enriching students with performance and art workshops
Sustaining the arts throughout Newport County and Rhode Island for future generations
