The family-friendly Lunch with Santa at 1:00 before the Saturday 3:00 matinee on December 18 will feature lunch in the theater atrium and a souvenir photo with Santa.

"BRT's Winter Musicale has become as much of a Bucks County holiday tradition as The Nutcracker, building a December snowman, baking gingerbread cookies, or sipping hot cocoa by the fire," said BRT's Artistic Director Keith Baker.

The BRT mainstage season continues with The Little Prince by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar on January 25-February 13, All My Sons by Arthur Miller on March 15-April 3, and Little Women with book by Allan Knee, music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein on May 3-22.

Since 1986, BRT has brought consistently acclaimed professional theatre to Bucks County and maintained a long-term commitment to finding and developing new plays. The theatre is the recipient of over 50 Barrymore Award nominations for Excellence in Theatre, given annually by the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. In addition to its mainstage productions, the theatre serves as a cultural hub for the community, with such programs as children's theatre, community concerts and exhibitions of local visual arts. Currently under the direction of Artistic Director Keith Baker, Founding Director Susan D. Atkinson, and Managing Director, Amy Kaissar, BRT enters its 24th season.
