BCCT STAGES

STAGES is BCCT’s Performing Arts Education Program with Heather Campagno as Educational Director.


BCCT Stages was launched in 2014 to help children and teens discover and explore the art of acting, musical theatre, vocal performance, and other performing arts through guided techniques and creative thinking. Its purpose is to improve vocal skills, individual performance skills, movement and interaction with other actors, and other fundamental performance techniques. Classes and workshops are held to enhance a young performer’s creativity in order to stimulate and develop their performance abilities.


STAGES classes and workshops are designed for beginners or those with a casual interest in performing to advanced child actors with a natural talent and a predisposition to being on stage. Classes are offered for school-aged children through high school and many of our students return for private vocal coaching throughout their college years.

REGISTRATION OPENS SOON!

FINDING NEMO KIDS

In this program, children currently in Grades 1–8, will rehearse and perform BCCT’s STAGES presentation of FINDING NEMO Kids!

This is a workshop format and not a full scale production.
