BAL's outdoor in person programming has been a lifeline to our 3 children ages 13, 11 and 8 during the pandemic. Suffering zoom fatigue, they have thrived in a safe, collegial environment, keeping connected to their passion for musical theater in creative and inspiring classes taught by talented and devoted teachers. BAL's outdoor offerings have kept the spotlight on for in person children's performing arts classes and brought back some joy to our daily, largely remote, grind.

We’re so happy to have had BAL as a safe creative and social outlet this past year. School is online and extracurriculars are cancelled, but we still look forward to seeing our friends from BAL each week.

BAL Outdoors has provided our daughter with the opportunity to safely interact with peers in-person while using her imagination to create. She has made new friends and built her confidence in a time when both things seemed impossible.

Brooklyn Acting Lab's outdoor classes have been an incredible outlet for my children, ages 6 and 10. Being able to sing and dance in glorious Prospect Park with such warm and energetic teachers has been just what they've needed during this unusual year of remote/hybrid learning. I've also been comforted by Brooklyn Acting Lab's organized and efficient safety protocols. They're an incredible organization and I recommend them wholeheartedly!

BAL's outdoor course is excellent. It provides a great way to get back some normalcy for the kids with in-person interaction, while still keeping safety during the pandemic.
