PUTNAM — The Bradley Playhouse board of directors recently decided to cancel the remainder of its 2020 season.
Don Gibbs, President of Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut, said: “For The Bradley Playhouse, which exists to bring people together and celebrate the human spirit through artistic expression, social distancing requirements have made it impossible for us to open our doors and offer our programming to the community. We have been shuttered and dark since March 12.
“We have not been inactive, however. Under the leadership of board members Kris and Barry Brandriff, the Bradley Playhouse Virtual Variety Hour has been broadcast each Friday evening at 7 streamed over Facebook Live, and both our artistic and programming committees are hard at work exploring ways to keep the arts available to a hungry public.”
He added: “Many have reached out to offer support and to inquire about our next steps. Thank you for the community hugs and donations that we have recently received, some from unexpected sources. We are working hard to preserve our resources so that we can resume operation in 2021 and again invite thousands to downtown Putnam and into our beautiful theatre. In the meantime we will be looking at more alternative ways to bring the Bradley to you, including outdoor concerts at the Rotary Park, and other virtual programming streamed like the Virtual Variety show on Fridays.”
He said: “We will make good on our promises to ticket and season pass holders so that they are made whole. We invite you to work with us to explore options to donate the value of your tickets, secure a refund convert this year’s Season/Flex and Laugh Passes into vouchers for the 2021 season.”
Ticket Refund, Exchange Details
If you hold tickets to any 2020 season show, concert, or comedy night, a representative from TNECT will begin processing refunds immediately. TNECT is committed to honoring the wishes of ticket holders and will work swiftly to process requests.

PUTNAM — The town of Putnam and the Putnam Arts Council have kicked off its two-month long “Sculpture Affair” in the Business District and along the Putnam River Trail.  Artist Dale Rogers, the man who created the town’s current sculptures, Bird in Hand (Rotary Park),  4 People (River Trail) and Big Dog (entrance to dog park) installed more than 20 sculptures for people to enjoy while walking in our community.
There are Woodland Animals for the youngsters, Symbolic pieces of Love for the young at heart and sculptures that make you stop and think while you roam the fanciful streets of Putnam. Families and friends are walking to stay healthy during these unprecedented times. What better way to spend a day than to walk Putnam and see the beautiful, solid, large 3-D sculptures that combine the love of abstract geometrics with organic lines and figurative appeal.
The best way to enjoy the Sculptures is to use our excellent “Sculpture Affair” Map – Guide that you can acquire at our Putnam restaurants and businesses.
