Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, BAY AREA CHILDREN’S THEATRE will provide arts access for over 30,000 students through our 2018-2019 Student Matinee program. Grant funding will allow students from Bay Area schools serving low-income communities that might not otherwise have access to arts programming to attend live theatrical performances for free. We specialize in shows based on children’s literature and believe every child deserves the right to experience the arts.
