Bay Area Children’s Theatre will provide access to enriching arts experiences for K-5 students through its Student Matinee Program. These theatre performances will strengthen arts education, and enrichment opportunities for students by sharing with them professional theatre productions featuring casts and stories that reflect the diversity of the Bay Area.
BACT provides the following core programs:
MAINSTAGE PRODUCTIONS (“Onstage”): Introduce children to the joy of theatre and literature by bringing great children’s books to life onstage through productions designed especially for young audiences featuring adult actors.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH: BACT offers several outreach programs to provide arts access to as diverse and inclusive a community as possible, including Student Matinees, arts in schools programs, and touring productions.
MUSICAL THEATRE EDUCATION (“Academy”): After-school classes and camps, a number of which are offered through civic partnerships, give children ages 4 and up opportunities to learn the art and craft of theatre, gain performance skills, build self-confidence, and shine as part of a team.
THEATRE FOR THE VERY YOUNG (“TVY”): Productions that provide multi-sensory story experiences designed specifically for early development needs of children ages 6 months to 3 years.
