Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble (BTE)
Our founders built BTE as a place where theatre artists could be employed full-time, year-round as theatre artists. Here, actors, directors, and playwrights could grow and create great work through long-term collaboration with their fellow ensemble members, stability, and deep engagement with the community. The end goal was, and continues to be, to create a theatre that would be—in the words of their mentor Alvina Krause—“as important to its community as schools and churches.”

In May 1990, Chris Bastress, Fred Daniele, Penny Austin, Doug McMinn, Charlie Lockard and Bonnie Tallman gathered at Franco’s Lounge in Williamsport, each placing $50 in the kitty as starting funds for a blues “picnic”. A local county commissioner, Paul Glunk offered his private property along the Susquehanna River for the occasion. Two more successful events solidified the blues were getting notice. In 1993, the group then began the process of establishing 501(c)3 non-profit status, electing a slate of officers and joining in a world-wide effort to celebrate blues music as an historical and culturally significant American born art form. The “group” was now officially known as the “Billtown Blues Association Inc.”
