  • “They really center around the kids' ideas and imagination and let them lead the way. It's very empowering AND fun. I highly recommend it. Our daughter went there for a few weeks last summer and has done several of their "play in a day" mini camps and will be heading back this summer. They are small so the kids get a lot of love and attention.”

    Neely - BAL Parent via Facebook

  • "This was my son's first experience at a theater camp and we couldn't have asked for a better program. The teachers were amazing and both challenged and nurtured my son while teaching him dancing, singing and acting as well running a full scale musical production. The play itself was very impressive and they definitely knew how to maximize the talent and potential of all of the kids. This camp has definitely created a true love of theater in my child and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get more comfortable on stage or enhance their theater skills."

    Rachel - BAL Parent

  • "My daughter has found her voice, a new passion and a community of young artists that she now calls friends."

    Sara - BAL Parent

  • "Brooklyn Acting Lab helped our daughter become an astronaut, robot, an ancient goddess, a monkey-singer, designer, a comedian, and an all around flexible, collaborative, brave and honest part of a team. All of that is cool, but what I love the most is that it helped her find and love her own voice."

    Rebecca - BAL Parent on "A Child Grows in Brooklyn"

  • "There’s a diversity of changing themes and activities... With its intimate scale, the kids get a beautiful personal touch you’d never find at a more commercial enterprise."
