Blackstone River Theatre (BRT), located across from the old Ann & Hope Mill on Broad Street in Cumberland, is the former site of the Unity Masonic Lodge. Built in 1928 and abandoned in 1987, the brick structure has been and continues to be renovated for use as a nonprofit cultural arts and community center. The Theatre also provides arts education and instruction through its Heritage Arts Studio initiative.
