Since July, we have given 144 scholarships to children in family shelters, and 184 scholarships to children in low-income households. 500 more children get BCT classes for free in our school-based programs.

Brooklyn Children’s Theatre brings together children from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow through the collaborative art of musical theatre.

We have seen the importance of positive adult influences and structural support for our OASIS students in particular. Often their lives are filled with turmoil and disruptions. At BCT, they have a home where their presence and ideas matter. And they get to have fun while singing and acting with children their own age.

Upon hearing some good news about the success of one of our Oasis students, another Oasis parent wrote in:

"So many times when children feel they are given up on, they give up themselves.

Many Oasis kids are surrounded by negative things. This is something they may grow accustomed to. They may never make it out of that type of environment because it is normal to them. The chance to go to BCT is such a blessing. They will get to see and experience things they most likely would never have been exposed to. They get to be in a positive environment where people are kind and believe in them and encourage them. That can make all the difference in their futures.”

Thank you so much for supporting our mission to bring children from diverse backgrounds together to learn and grow through musical theatre!
