CREATING JOY, TOGETHER

  • "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."

    Rachel - BAL Parent

  • "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."

    Via ParkSlopeParents.com

  • "These are great child-centered, imagination-driven, creative and serious theater classes."

    Lizzie - BAL Parent via Facebook

  • "The teaching staff is truly amazing and they create a safe and encouraging environment to allow children to grow and perform and have fun."

    Christine - BAL Parent via Facebook

  • "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."
