Create and act in an original short film produced by BAL.

Everyone plays a part in the film that we will shoot on Thursday/Friday. The BAL team will edit and share the short which will be premiered via Youtube the first week of August.
SHARED PERFORMANCE
Each week culminates in a socially distanced Friday afternoon outdoor sharing at 2:30 PM for a limited audience of family and friends. Sign up for one week or for the entire summer!
