BROOKLYN CHILDREN'S THEATRE Brooklyn Children's Theatre is a musical theatre program dedicated to fostering creativity, self-expression, and teamwork through the art of performance. In addition, we are committed to supporting the Brooklyn community by presenting new and original works written by local writers. At BCT we believe each child is an integral part of the rehearsal and performance process. Our class structure and rehearsals are carefully designed to focus on the ensemble skills that we believe will help children in all aspects of their lives. Our productions are thoughtfully written to explore the issues of our community and our students, and to allow each student to play a specific role that will challenge and showcase them to the best of their ability. In addition, we understand that this process should be a fun and enriching one for our students, so we work hard to maintain a safe and positive environment in which to foster their creativity. Each week, children rehearse music, staging and choreography, as well as build their craft through theatre games, skill building and improvisation to prepare for each semester's fully staged musical production. The rehearsal process gives students an understanding of the following:
This process culminates in our semester-end production, a special weekend celebration for all of our students, complete with a stage, lights, costumes and makeup! Here our students are given the opportunity to share what they learned with their friends, family and the community. In addition, our young performers share their work at Family Days, Book Fairs, and most recently, at the Brooklyn Children's Museum and the Staten Island Museum.
