Brooklyn Children's Theatre Musical Theatre program for children from 1st -12th grade
https://linktr.ee/bklynchildrenstheatre We build an inclusive community. Students from 1st-12th grades

Brooklyn Children’s Theatre provides youth with a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment to discover and hone their talents and life skills through the collaborative art of musical theatre. Through the rehearsal process students learn discipline, respect, and the value of hard work and a positive attitude. Through ensemble work, students build a strong community in which they learn commitment, trust and how to depend on one another. Through live performances, students develop confidence and learn to take risks. We aim to create a supportive, dynamic, and inclusive learning community where each child’s individual self-worth, creativity, and talents are celebrated, where each child wants to contribute his or her own unique gifts to strengthen and sustain the vibrancy of this community. We envision a world where all children have access to theatre. We especially seek the participation of students who have a gift to give the art of theatre who would not otherwise have theater or performance opportunities, due to economic or cultural barriers or lack of resources in their schools and communities. BCT fulfills an underfunded need in which all students are welcome, regardless of their economic situation. No child has ever been refused for an inability to pay.

A message from Broadway for our young fundraisers! 🎭 Allison Guinn and Gerianne Pérez of Operation Mincemeat Broadway are giving 2 orchestra tickets and a backstage tour to the Brooklyn Children's Theatre youth fundraiser who collects the most donations during FALL INTO PLACES.

Because the prize goes to the most donations, not the most dollars, every gift you give a BCT student this fall counts, even $1. Each one supports BCT scholarships, which 78% of our students attend with.

FALL INTO PLACES runs October 24 through November 8: https://www.brooklynchildrenstheatre.org/fundraise-for-bct/

Thank you, Allison and Gerianne, for believing that theater should be for all kids. 💛

FALL INTO PLACES runs October 24 through November 8. The students who bring in the most for BCT scholarships will win prizes from generous friends of BCT, including 2 orchestra tickets and a backstage tour of Operation Mincemeat Broadway.

The top prize goes to whoever collects the most donations, so every gift counts, even $5. When a BCT student asks you this fall, you're helping them win and supporting the scholarships that 78% of our students attend on.

Thank you to Allison Guinn and Gerianne Perez, Sloomoo Institute, Beat The Bomb, Liberty Science Center, American Museum of Natural History, LaToya Greene, Bertha Martinez, Caroline Rojek, and Nancy Robbins for donating prizes. 🍂

ONE WEEK until FALL INTO PLACES! 🍂 Get a head start here: https://www.brooklynchildrenstheatre.org/donate/fundraise-for-bct/

From October 24 through November 8, BCT students will ask the people in their lives for small gifts ($5, $10, $25) toward BCT scholarships. 78% of our students attend on scholarship, so if a young artist reaches out to you this fall, that's what your gift keeps going.

You can make your own fundraising page or see who has already joined. Our goal is $25,000.

Check back on Monday to see the prizes our youth fundraisers are competing for. 🏆

And just like that… summer is a wrap! ☀️🎭✨

119 students. 7 sessions. 4 weeks of singing, dancing, performing, laughing, and making memories that will last long after summer ends!❤️

From Broadway workshops to original creations, our students truly made this summer their own!

Until next summer… we’ll be counting down! 👀💫

Week Two of BCT's Viola Davis Summer Camp is off to a wonderful start! ⭐

Our "Write-A-Musical" students were throwing down ideas of what their show could possibly be. Our "Show-In-A-Week" students are honing their improv skills to prepare to sow off their hard work at the end of the week! 🎉

Then, Broadway star Gregory Treco came by and answered our students' burning questions, and taught us "My Shot" from HAMILTON! 🎭

Stay tuned to see what else happens during this summer!

A wonderful first week! 🎭✨

Our kids wrote a brand new musical called “UNTIL SUNSET,” which will be used in a future MainStage Performance. Our kids also made up and performed a show - all in one week - called ALIEN INVASION: POMPOMS and PICKLES!
From learning new choreography, to conquering FLOOR IS LAVA, to taking brave leaps on stage, our campers reminded us that every single moment is part of the journey.

And just like our young artists… This summer is only getting started. 🩷 Stay tuned from our memories, magic, and moments from week two! 👀 |
