In the spring of 1996, a small but visionary group of people began the arduous task of bringing community theater to the City of Red Bay. The first Board of Directors consisted of ten interested citizens who were willing to devote the hours necessary to developing a workable constitution, defining the funding umbrella, publicizing the new organization, reading scripts, securing directors, and forming committees necessary for production. This group also had the honor of selecting the name, Bay Tree Council for the Performing Arts and electing the first chairperson, Ms. Sherry Bostick.

Through the generosity of Community Spirit Bank, the plays are presented in the elegant Arts and Entertainment Center in downtown Red Bay. All the plays, including the highly popular dinner theater in February, have been well attended. The members of the BTCPA, both current and past, have nurtured a miracle into a reality. They have done so with the unbelievable strong support of sponsors, patrons, members and people who share their commitment. Now we invite you to share the good news. It is show time and with your support will be for eons to come.

The theater is located at:
