Visit Bainbridge Performing Arts during the First Friday Art Walk on Friday, Aug. 5 between 5 and 7 p.m. for an anniversary celebration marking 60 years of sensational stage work.

The party will include live music, small bites and a beer garden.

“We’ll proudly commemorate all that BPA’s directors, designers, actors, musicians, artists, educators, students and audience members have undertaken and realized throughout six decades of passionate performance,” said BPA spokeswoman Sally Jo Martine.

Photographs, set pieces and costumes from six magical decades of theatre, music, dance, and comedy will adorn the BPA Gallery walls as visitors enjoy a lively evening of art, food and friends.

Interested parties are requested to RSVP by emailing Dominique Cantwell at dcantwell@bainbridgeperformingarts.org. Admission is free, and the gallery exhibit continues through September.
