Blue Hill Troupe

the blue hill troupe brings high-quality theater performances to new york city audiences while raising money for new york city charities. the troupe has raised nearly four million dollars for its charity partners since its founding in 1924. hailing from all walks of life and spanning several generations, troupers donate their time and energy to produce two full theatrical productions a year: a broadway musical or light opera and a gilbert and sullivan operetta. although we do boast a number of professional theater people in our ranks, most troupers make a living in other professions, troupers sing and act, design and build sets, create costumes and props, wire lighting and sound systems, edit and produce the program, sell tickets and usher — in short, perform all the jobs required to put on a first-rate show—in their spare time and for the love of it. the quality of the performances we put on is testimony to the dedication and effort we are capable of as a group.
