Samantha Gray (Producer/Scenic Coordinator) is Theatre Bristol's Producing Artistic Director, managing its many stages, casts, crews, and programs for the last 15 years. She thanks God, her talented husband and children, the Theatre Bristol Board of Directors, the incredible volunteers devoted to the organization's mission, and founder Cathy DeCaterina for giving the gift of Theatre Bristol to our community.

Rebecca Ryan (Properties Artisan) is a maker at heart - happiest when putting her creativity to work creating costumes and props - whether recreations or original concepts - which she has been doing for most of her life. Rebecca has been building props and costumes for Theatre Bristol productions for a few years now and has also had the opportunity to "guest create" for the Bristol Ballet Company. Creating pieces of art that she can pass into the hands of an actor or dancer for them to build their own art from is a joyful way to spend her time and is extremely fulfilling. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Albert Tester (Technical Director/Lighting Designer) is a graduate of Northeast State Community College, where he earned a Technical Certificate in Entertainment Technology. Albert serves as the Cameo Theatre Technical Director, Facility Lead at Pins & Friends, and the Technology Coordinator at State Street UMC. He has worked on crew for nearly every show over the past decade at Theatre Bristol. He is proud to be an Eagle Scout and is especially grateful for the love and support of his girlfriend, Caylin.

Since Cameo Theatre's 100th birthday last March, we have kept the space full of laughter, tears, and live theatre!

✨ On March 30, 2025, we celebrated 100 years with the Cameo Theatre grand reopening! We also launched the Cameo Capital Arts Campaign.
✨ In April, we threw it back to Theatre Bristol's beginnings with "Land of Jesters & Rumpelstiltskin." Our cast of children and youth christened the stage, just as Cathy always intended.
✨ In May, we were moved by "Steel Magnolias" and hit record attendance.
✨ In June, we held our first StART of Adventure Summer Camp performance in the space with more than 50 student performers.
✨ In September, Hoot & Holler Storytelling entertained during Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion.
✨ In October, we spent time with old friends with "The Odd Couple."
✨ Also in October, Theatre Bristol Youth Academy relaunched with "Schoolhouse Rock LIVE! Jr."
✨ In December, "Yes, Virginia, There Is Santa Claus" Live Radio Play reminded us of the good that exists, when we look for it.

Charlotte's Web opened the 2026 Cameo Theatre season and wrapped up the first full year of Theatre Bristol at the Cameo. Be a part of history! Attend, audition, and get involved at theatrebristol.org.
