Bainbridge Performing Arts promotes appreciation of and participation in the performing arts to build, educate and inspire our vibrant, creative community. Since 1956, countless acts – large and small – have informed each production that graces the BPA stage. Collectively we have grown and reaped a communal bounty of grass-roots ARTivism, with people from all walks of life gathering under one roof to laugh, rage, and cry with friends, family, neighbors, and strangers. As heart strings are plucked in a drumbeat of connection, we turn to our supporters in gratitude for the opportunity to bring a taste of magic to the community that we love. BPA shows, directors, actors, and technical staff have earned rave reviews in the Kitsap Sun, Broadway World, AXS, and more.
