A newly formed organization, the Delaware River Theatre Collective, has announced its intention to bring professional theatre back to the towns of New Hope, Pennsylvania and Lambertville, New Jersey. Along with the goal of presenting quality theatrical productions for the region is the establishment of a permanent venue to house ongoing performances, such as the historic Bucks County Playhouse. It has been months since Stonebridge Bank foreclosed on the decades old Bucks County Playhouse and despite proclamations from a number of groups that it would be purchased, renovated, and reopened in time for the 2011 Summer season, little has been done.
On Monday, July 18, 2011 at 8 pm, the Delaware River Theatre Collective will hold a fundraising concert entitled "One Night Only" at the Stephen J. Buck Memorial Theater at the New Hope-Solebury High School Auditorium, 180 W. Bridge Street in New Hope, PA. The concert will consist of musical theatre showstoppers performed by Broadway actors including: Adam Halpin (Glory Days, Rent), Rodney Hicks (Scottsboro Boys, Jesus Christ Superstar), Morgan James (Addams Family, Wonderland), Brian Ogilvie (Mary Poppins), Laura Beth Wells (Spider-Man) and other industry professionals including some Playhouse alumni: JorDan Brennan, Lauren Brownstein, Nicole Calabrese, David Campbell, Zachary Clause, Jennifer Harrison, Jennifer Lameo, Adam Levinskas, Jill Palena, Louis Palena, Jihyen Park, Jenny Pilong, Marrick Smith and Dana Winkle.
The Delaware River Theatre Collective's "One Night Only" fundraising concert will be held at the Stephen J. Buck Memorial Theater at the New Hope-Solebury High School on Monday, July 18, 2011 beginning at 8 pm. Seating for the event will be general admission and donations begin at $25 per person.
