CREATING JOY, TOGETHER
"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
"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."
