A word from our founder...
THE ultimate IN PROFESSIONAL TRIPLE-THREAT TRAINING!
Bridgetown is where middle school and high school musical theater performers receive professional triple-threat training (acting, dancing, and vocal performance) to achieve entrance to a top tier college musical theater program and ultimately to work in professional theater. It is also a place where aspiring actors learn their craft to compete for scholarships at these same college programs.
Bridgetown is the creation of Rick Lewis who is known locally as the Music Director/Conductor for Portland Center Stage at the Armory from 2005 to 2017, music directing over twenty productions during that time, receiving numerous Drammy Awards for his work. Prior to that Rick wrote and produced a number of productions in New York including The Taffetas with productions around the world. With his over 40 years as a composer, producer and director of musicals Rick has been able to mentor and coach many local Portland actors in the theater.
Rick launched Bridgetown in 2016 and has successfully trained hundreds of students, many of whom went on to college programs and professional theater. Since the inception of Bridgetown, over thirty-six students have entered top tier college programs for musical theatre across the county and around the world. He has continued to bring talent to Portland to support the arts and theater culture of the city especially for the benefit of the Bridgetown students.
Now Bridgetown is ready to expand further by providing training to even more students of all backgrounds regardless of financial challenges. This is significant for Portland's vital theatrical and arts culture but also to help our local actors succeed in fiercely competitive major markets in the US such as New York.
