Please understand that when a show is SOLD OUT, it truly is! We must adhere to fire codes and it truly is not possible to fit "just one more"... especially when we have had several people ask to do the same!
If a show at BRT has an advance price & a day-of-show price it means:
If you pre-pay OR call in your reservation any time before the show date, you get the advance price. If you show up at the door with no reservations OR call in your reservations on the same day as the show, you will pay the day-of show-price.
NOTE for prepaid tickets
or if reservations have been made but not pre-paid:
If you reduce the number of tickets requested or paid for at the box office on the night of the performance, that ticket must still be paid for! BRT requires 24 hour notice for cancellations or you will be charged for all seats reserved.

Dear Steve,
This Saturday we bring back the amazing acoustic fingerstyle guitar virtuoso Peppino D'Agostino... not to be missed! And on Sunday from 4-6 PM we will be presenting a CONTRA DANCE with the band White Squall and caller Paul Wilde... lots of fun and fine for singles and beginners so come on out and have some fun on the dance floor!
THANK YOU FOR VOTING YES ON QUESTION 5! This bond passed with 60% approval and we are glad it did! Now the hard work begins as we identify and prioritize capital projects
for Blackstone River Theatre, get estimates, and begin fundraising as the proposal will require matching dollars... much more to come but an unprecedented opportunity for the Rhode Island arts community, BRT included! Thank you to RISCA and Randy Rosenbaum for spearheading this effort and getting the word out... and thank YOU for voting YES!
Don't forget to LIKE us on Facebook to get late-breaking news and really expensive gifts. Well, not that last one but definitely the first part... Please share what we do with your friends! www.facebook.com/pages/Blackstone-River-Theatre/165592431396
Hope to see you soon...
Russell Gusetti, Executive Director

VIRTUOSO GUITARIST PEPPINO D'AGOSTINO
 Contemporary fingerstyle guitarist Peppino D'Agostino emerged on the musical scene in the late 1980s and helped redefine the boundaries of the acoustic guitar. His virtuosic technique, penchant for open tunings, and percussive effects are the basis of his unique compositional style which has been inspiring musicians and audiences alike for years. Add to that his natural warmth, playfulness, and broad musical tastes and you have the recipe for what he calls "minestrone music."
Hailed as "a guitarist's guitarist" by Acoustic Guitar magazine and "a giant of the acoustic guitar" by the San Diego Reader, D'Agostino was voted "Best Acoustic Guitarist" by Guitar Player magazine readers in 2007. D'Agostino continues to evolve and grow in ways that would have been hard to predict when he was first showcasing his melodic yet emotionally intense style on his first recordings. 'Every Step of the Way" was named one of the top three acoustic guitar albums of all time by Acoustic Guitar magazine readers in 2008. D'Agostino's simultaneous immersion in the classical guitar and rock worlds, has culminated in his most recent solo recording, "Penumbra." Combining a keen sense of melody with virtuoso technique, D'Agostino has created a style that is as likely to charm casual listeners as to stun fellow guitar pickers. Don't miss this wonderful musician in an intimate theatre atmosphere!

A CONTRA DANCE WITH WHITE SQUALL
 We hope you'll join us as we bring back contra dances to BRT! Today's dance will feature the Providence-based band White Squall comprised of Andrew Grover on fiddle, Ned Quist on guitar and Alice Pace on percussion. The band has been together since 2003 and are currently the house band for the Brown University contra dances. The caller will be Paul Wilde. Contra dancing is a fun, informal event featuring easily learned dance steps such as those experienced in traditional square dancing. No experience is necessary and you do not need to bring a partner with you as it is customary to switch partners many times over the course of the evening. All dances are taught by the caller, each dance lasts about 10 minutes, and the dancers are often in constant movement.... join us for what we hope will become a bi-monthly dance tradition at BRT!
Event Info
Sunday, November 9, 4-6 P.M., $10.00
at Blackstone River Theatre
549 Broad Street, Cumberland, R.I.
Tickets at the door!
