FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE

GIVE THE GIFT
OF DRAMA AND LAUGHTER

GIFT CERTIFICATES
NOW AVAILABLE TO
PENNSYLVANIA’S LEGENDARY
BUCKS COUNTY PLAYHOUSE

New Hope, PA (11/29/12) – Bucks County Playhouse (BCP) (Jed Bernstein, Producing Director) has announced that gift certificates are now available for the historic Playhouse. Bucks County Playhouse gift certificates are available year round and can be purchased in $25 increments.

“This is the perfect time of year to share the gift of drama and laughter. A gift certificate to the historic Bucks County Playhouse is a front row ticket to great times with the family,” said Producing Director Jed Bernstein.

The Bucks County Playhouse box office will process your order within 24 business hours and mail your gift certificate to you or the recipient promptly. You can also elect to share a unique code included on all certificates with the recipient yourself. The code can be entered securely online as well as in person or over the phone when redeeming and also used to look up the balance of the certificate. There is no fee to maintain a balance, however, please be aware that gift certificates expire one year from the date of purchase. Gift certificates are valid for tickets and subscriptions to all regular BCP productions, excluding rental productions and special events, and cannot be applied towards tickets/subscriptions previously purchased.

Located 90 minutes from New York City, the Bucks County Playhouse opened in 1939 on the site of a grist mill dating from the late eighteenth century. Ironically, the structure was at that time in danger of demolition; however playwright Moss Hart and the local community rallied to save the building and re-opened it as a theatrical venue, which quickly became one of the country’s most famous regional theaters, with a veritable who’s who of American theatrical royalty including Kim Hunter, Helen Hayes, Kitty Carlisle, Colleen Dewhurst, Shirley Booth, Lillian Gish, June Lockhart, Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, Bert Lahr, Leslie Nielsen and Walter Matthau and remained in continuous operation until December 2010. Thanks to the Bridge Street Foundation, the non-profit family foundation of Kevin and Sherri Daugherty with Tanya Cooper as President, this beloved theatrical landmark was re-opened and celebrated on July 2, 2012, exactly 73 years and day from when it originally opened in 1939.
