Birmingham Children Theater

Birmingham Children's Theatre exists to Educate, Enrich, and Entertain through the magic of professional theatre.

One of the nation's oldest and largest professional theatre companies for young audiences, BCT produces high-quality, professional theatrical entertainment and curriculum-relevant arts education experiences for children and families. BCT is the second largest employer of professional theatre artists in Alabama, and is Alabama's only professional touring theatre company. As the resident professional theatre company of the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC), BCT operates the 150-seat Dominick Studio Theatre, the intimate 250-seat Wee Folks Theatre for students ages 3-6, and the larger 950-seat MainStage Theatre for students ages 6 and up.

In-house productions at the BJCC annually play to over 90,000 school students in grades K-12, while BCT On Tour reaches over 80,000 additional students each year in approximately 100 cities across Alabama and the Southeast. BCT Players education programs provide one-on-one instruction for students ages 3 - 18 in theatre training and childhood development skills.
