YOUTH CLASSES AT BAL

At Brooklyn Acting Lab, theatre-making is driven by the dreams, ideas, and inquiries of the youth we work with. We support young learners on their journey of discovery, and stimulate their thinking through interdisciplinary arts-practices.

1 Day Camps | School Breaks

Aligning with the 2019–20 NYC public school calendar, Brooklyn Acting Lab’s School & Holiday Break Programs are designed to inspire students – when they’re off from school – as they design props, costumes, set pieces, choreography and songs or pieces of music.

Private Coaching | Audition Prep

Brooklyn Acting Lab offers private singing lessons, acting coaching, and audition prep. Our team of professional actors and performers will work with students to grow as a performer, build technique, feel confident, and have fun!

Brooklyn Acting Lab Productions

BAL Productions are community affairs, woven from the rich fabric of social, cultural, and environmental factors that are organic to Brooklyn neighborhoods. Buy tickets and learn more about our past and upcoming productions here.

BAL CELEBRATES 10 YEARS

  • “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.”

  • "The directors and staff are all warm, smart and engaging, bringing their own professional training and expertise to the kids."

    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."

    Heather - BAL parent

  • "I just think Brooklyn Acting Lab has been the best acting experience I have ever had in my life. And the people here are really awesome... I have made so many friends here that I will know for life."

    Inua - BAL Student

  • "My children have benefitted tremendously from their experiences at BAL. It is a serious learning environment where students have a lot of fun and work together in a collaborative and respectful environment."

    Molly - BAL Parent

  • "The performance had a charm, an identity, an old-fashioned, hard working approach to theater involving kids that is rare now... The whole thing left the viewer with a reverence for childhood, and all of its potential."

    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."
