Give the child you love a wildly creative and unforgettable summer experience at BAL! 

Brooklyn Acting Lab’s Summer Programs serve children who are Rising Kindergarten (entering Kindergarten in Fall 2023) through Rising 8th (entering 8th Grade in Fall 2023). BAL’s theater camps run weekly and bi-weekly from June 26th – September 1st 2023. Classes are offered on weekday schedules (Mon-Friday)  from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.

Young PLAYers Series are one-week programs for Rising K-4th, offered at BAL’s South Slope Studio at 56 Windsor Place. and at Old First Church at 729 Carroll Street. Summer Intensives are one-week programs for Rising 5th-8th and are only offered at our Park Slope location at 1012 8th Avenue (btw 10th and 11th Streets). Mini-Musicals are one and two week musical theater programs for Rising 4th-8th Graders and are being offered at The Mark O’Donnell Theater at 160 Schermerhorn Street in Downtown Brooklyn. All programs culminate in a show for family and friends on Friday (the last day of the program) at 2:30 PM.

MINI MUSICALS (4th-8th Grade)

In our Mini Musical program students will work on an abridged script including short scenes, songs and choreography. They will develop their vocal, movement, and acting skills. Every student gets a part and will work with teaching artists to develop their characters through an ensemble-based rehearsal process. This summer we are thrilled to be able to work in a 75-seat blackbox theater in downtown Brooklyn. The Mark O’Donnell Theater (160 Schermerhorn Street) will provide students with an elevated performance experience.

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."

  • "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."
