Performing Arts for Young People

Elementary and Middle School Productions

Performed in both spring and fall, students learn collaboration and creativity while performing and assisting with all aspects of the production. These productions help to foster a sense of community as parents and children work together to create sets, props, and costumes for the performance. In 2019, over 2,000 patrons attended Disney’s Aladdin, Jr.! During the fall of 2019 BTG launched the first annual fall production, Willy Wonka Kids, which featured 140 students! 

Summertime Classes

Summertime classes are one-week sessions offered during the summer vacation months on the Stockbridge and Pittsfield campuses. Students work together to prepare and perform a classic fairytale. The final performance is followed by a student-led question and answer session.
