Your Blue Ridge Community Theater was founded in 2000 as a 501(c)3, Not For Profit organization. Originally called the Gateway Mountain Players, your Blue Ridge Community Theater is now known locally as BRCT. BRCT had its humble beginning as a “gypsy theater” that performed anywhere there was space. Whether it was in the public school “cafetoriums” (cafeteria/auditorium), open air parks or any empty building, these adventurous volunteers continuously brought theater to appreciative audiences.
