Summer Things
Our MainStage season runs from October through May. Then, we take a breath. It is summer and we know how to play (see what we did there?)! This summer, BCT is launching our first-ever, 1st Annual LOCALS ONLY Summer Series. Join us at 7 PM some summer nights for a variety of live performances- readings, music, our lineup may surprise you. $10 a ticket for most acts!
This August, our 5th Annual BIPOC Playwrights Festival is back at BCT! A festival pass will get you into EVERYTHING, or you can buy a ticket for just the readings you’d like to attend. Look at our BIPOC Playwrights Festival page for all the details as they develop!
When summer comes to a close, we gear up for our next season with the best bash in Boise- our annual Gala under the stars right here on Fulton Street in Boise’s Cultural District. Get information on auction items, tables, and tickets for our September 19 Gala!
25|26 Season
October 1, 2025 - May 9, 2026
“Where in the world am I?” is the name of a beloved lesson taught by elementary school teachers to help students pinpoint how they fit into their class, their city, their world, by identifying address locations at different scales: street, town, state, country, continent, planet.
BCT’s 25|26 Season of plays is an iteration of this exploration. These thought provoking stories of the human experience span locations (insular communities, remote towns, battlefields, the world stage), span time periods (today, the middle of the 20th Century, World War I), span divides (two sides of a vaccination debate, a stretch of no man’s land, the space between real and imaginary, the cultural distance from America to Iran). These stories are all examinations of that same question we were asked as kids.
Where in the world are we?

The BCT Theater Lab program has expanded into the Academy for Contemporary Theater! In addition to our gold standard Theater Lab programs, A.C.T. brings even more opportunities to the community. Like adult acting classes. And playwriting classes. We’ve even added a new Theater Lab class for our younger playmakers! Come A.C.T. at BCT!
