Blue Hill Troupe, Ltd.
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
over four million dollars
since its founding in
1924.
Hailing from all walks of
life and spanning several
generations, Troupers
donate time and energy
to produce two full
theatrical productions a
year: a Broadway musical
or light opera each fall
and a Gilbert and Sullivan
operetta each spring.
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.
The Blue Hill Troupe
has twice performed in
Carnegie Hall with the
New York Pops, and has
been featured in the
Metropolitan Museum
of Art concert series. On
television, the Troupe
has been profiled on
CBS Sunday Morning and
the MetroArts/Thirteen
performance series.

An offbeat, hilarious murder-mystery farce, complete
with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds,
and a corpse in a wheelchair. The story revolves around
an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to
take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle
on a vacation to Monte Carlo. If he succeeds in passing
his uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit
$6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog
Home of Brooklyn, or else his uncle’s gun-toting ex! A
winner of the Richard Rodgers Award and Washington’s
Helen Hayes Award for Best Musical, Lucky Stiff is now
performed frequently across the country.
Patience satirizes the “aesthetic craze” of the 1870s and
‘80s—an artistic movement so popular, and also so easy
to ridicule as a meaningless fad, that it made Patience a
big hit in 1881 (enjoying the second longest run of any
work of musical theatre up to that time). All the wellborn young ladies in the village, rapturously caught
up in aestheticism, fall in love with two contrasting
aesthetic poets, one ”fleshly” and one “idyllic.” But the
poets are both in love with Patience, the simple village
milkmaid, who cares nothing for poetry. The girls’
military suitors don’t see the point to aesthetics, but
they decide to give it a try to win the women’s hearts.
In support of Jewish Home Lifecare, our 2014-15 Charity Partner
Serving New Yorkers of all faiths and ethnicities for 166
years, Jewish Home Lifecare is one of the nation’s largest and most diversified not-for-profit geriatric health
and rehabilitation institutions. Jewish Home Lifecare
meets the needs of over 12,000 older adults each year in
their own homes, as well as in post-acute and long-term
residences on three campuses in the Bronx, Manhattan
and Westchester. Jewish Home firmly believes that
high-quality care and personal dignity are the right of
everyone, regardless of background or economic circumstances. Technology, innovation, applied research
and new models of care put Jewish Home Lifecare at the
vanguard of eldercare providers across the country.
Arts programming at Jewish Home Lifecare is one of the
most popular and important activities for the residents.
Classes are taught both by the facilities’ Therapeutic
Recreation staff and by outside instructors specially
trained to engage with elders. Jewish Home has hosted
musical and dance performances, exhibitions, theater
troupes, and readings performed by the seniors themselves, all to the delight of the Jewish Home community.
The health and therapeutic benefits of these programs
are well documented, including improved emotional
stability, enhanced self-esteem, and increased social
interaction in a communal setting, which is critical for
residents to feel connected and at home.
Jewish Home Lifecare’s partnership with the Blue Hill
Troupe will enhance and expand the arts programming
available for residents on all of Jewish Home’s campuses.
By increasing the number of workshops and classes available to resident and rehabilitation patients, as well as
enhancing current classes with updated materials and
additional instructors, Jewish Home Lifecare can continue
to provide the highest quality care for New York’s seniors.
