ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
A BRIEF HISTORY
Bread & Water Theatre is committed to making the arts accessible and affordable to a broad-based audience and acting as a positive agent of change in its community. Under the artistic direction of J.R. Teeter, BWT develops theatre that speaks to our living, evolving, and dramatically-changing world through new works of drama and aspires to be a major force in American theatre, providing audiences with challenging contemporary drama and innovative community outreach programs.
Founded in 2000, BWT strives to create a type of theatre where the actor's performance is the most important aspect of production; where a voice and body can inhabit a blank stage and fill the vacuum of empty space. This type of theatre is sometimes in-your-face, rough and crude, but it is never disappointing. Below is a timeline of important events in the history of the theatre.
