We are a collection of folks who enjoy being involved in some way with live theater; on the stage or behind the stage. Usually there are two or three times as many unseen workers as there are visible actors. We learn by doing. People usually start as helpers in some way and gradually take over the major duties in time. The director of one show may be responsible for ticket sales the next time, and may sit out completely after that or help paint scenery or distribute posters.
Many of the membership who have been, or are now active with BCT are also involved in other local theater groups: Paul Bunyan Playhouse, Bemidji High School, Bemidji State University, Headwaters Players, Listening Winds, Headwaters School of Music and the Arts. We have collaborated with Paul Bunyan Playhouse, BSU, the Middle School and the Headwaters School of Music and the Arts.
Routine business and choice of what shows to perform are handled by a board of 6-12 Directors. Major policy decisions are by the vote of the entire membership. Management questions for each show are made by the Production Manager and the Director of that show. The Board meets each month and the location is always decided at the prior Board Meeting. We have a yearly membership meeting/picnic where the Board members for the next year are voted in.
