Boat Concert
On Saturday, May 1 Bucks County Playhouse will herald the arrival of spring with the unveiling of upgrades to its New Hope riverfront campus and a free “Boat Concert” at noon on the Delaware.
Producing Director Alexander Fraser invited the community to visit the Playhouse for the festivities, which includes the 12 Noon boat concert by singer Andrew Polec, as well as to experience the upgrades to the Playhouse’s facilities, which includes the return of outdoor socially distanced dining and drinking options, a new seasonal menu at The Deck, tweaks to the Courtyard Bar and new landscape lighting.
“The Playhouse has the most beautiful outdoor setting in the heart of New Hope, and we have used the winter months to make enhancements to our outdoor spaces,” says Fraser. “We want to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests, that not only represents an aesthetic upgrade, but also provides better safety and visibility. We want to thank the community, and especially our donors, for their extraordinary support over the past year making our reopening possible.”
Bucks County native, Andrew Polec, who starred in the national tour of the musical “Bat Out of Hell” and whose parents still reside in Doylestown, will christen the Playhouse’s new Boat Concerts. He will sing a free 45-minute set that patrons can view, socially distanced, on the river promenade and lawn.
“Andrew is a powerhouse singer — immensely talented who can sing anything. When he appeared in our Halloween concert last year he absolutely blew the roof off the Playhouse,” says Fraser.
The Playhouse also recently announced additional concerts for Spring and Early Summer featuring artists from the world of Broadway and the New York City cabaret scene curated by New York promoter Jim Caruso, as well as the world premiere of a new show starring and written by “Sex and the City” scribe Candace Bushnell. Details and tickets are now available on the Playhouse’s website www.BucksCountyPlayhouse.org.
