“Overall, we are doing very well. There are lots of people coming into Bristol to see shows,” Gilpatrick said during the meeting.

The donation to the theater allows borough residents to buy tickets for the first two preview performances of a show for $5. According to Gilpatrick, there has been a strong demand for this service.
