“I've been coming to Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble for over twenty years, and, during that time, have missed only two Mainstage productions (a snowstorm and the flu were the culprits).

Not only did I experience stage productions of great diversity (Shakespeare to Shaw to contemporary playwrights) and of the highest quality, I also learned so much about live drama and comedy.

Perhaps just as important, I realized what it is to see our marvelous and often perplexing world from different points of view — what it is that makes others laugh, cry, rage, and console — and, in the process, grew as a person in many different ways.

What a precious gift that is indeed!

As a member of the Legacy Society, I am doing a small part in ensuring that future generations enjoy the gifts that BTE has given to me and in helping this fine ensemble continue its work in community outreach and education.”
