Bridge Street Theatre is an 84-seat production company and performance venue located in Catskill, New York.
[2] In 1986, founders John Sowle and Steven Patterson created a production company called Kaliyuga Arts for the purpose of presenting off-beat, challenging work.
As they migrated from Los Angeles to San Francisco to New York City and eventually to the Hudson Valley, Sowle and Patterson continued to present sporadically and tour occasionally, always in rented or donated spaces.
In November 2013, they purchased an old factory building on the outskirts of downtown Catskill, NY to serve as a permanent artistic home for their productions.
[4] Bridge Street Theatre has been instrumental in the region's cultural renaissance,[3] thanks in part to ongoing support by New York State's Homes and Community Renewal Program.
