Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Bay Area Children’s Theatre will continue to provide arts access to tens of thousands of students from low- to moderate-income communities through our 2020-2021 Student Matinee program. Grant funding will enable school groups from underserved communities an opportunity to attend a live theatre performance as part of an enriching field trip by providing subsidized and free tickets. BACT believes every child deserves the right to experience the arts.
