Gettysburg Civil War Theater/Brady of Broadway/Sponsorships

The Gettysburg Civil War Theater is seeking Sponsors and a Corporate Partner for a new production of BRADY  OF   BROADWAY, the celebrated one-man play about the Civil War photographer Mathew Brady. This play will begin an extended run July 2000 in Gettysburg, followed by a traveling production for school and college audiences.

BRADY  OF   BROADWAY made its debut in Detroit, where it was greeted with full houses, standing ovations, and a nomination as Best New Play of the season by the Detroit News.

Playwright Wm. B. Becker was awarded a Creative Artist Grant by the Michigan Council of the Arts for his work on this project. The Ohio Arts Council supported a production and educational tour by the Ensemble Theater of Cleveland.

 

The Smithsonian Institution produced BRADY  OF  BROADWAY for presentation in the Museum’s Great Hall. The Smithsonian’s production was among the most successful plays in the long-running “Cultures in Motion” series and was featured in the Washington Post as a “Weekend’s Best” event.

 

BRADY OF BROADWAY is an official event of the U.S. Civil War Center.

Building on its success during the 1999 season, the Gettysburg Civil War Theater is preparing to bring BRADY OF BROADWAY to a new audience: the 2.5 million visitors who make the pilgrimage to Gettysburg each year.

Utilizing a new performance space in the very heart of the historic district, BRADY OF BROADWAY will be presented in an intimate setting that will bring thousands of visitors face-to-face with one of the most important figures in Civil War history.
