Want to get in on the ground floor of a project and support local talent? We think you miss us in the summer as much as we miss you. We are launching a brand-new program for our remarkable Boise audience members and artists…

Our new LOCALS ONLY Summer Series features Boise playwrights, writers, actors, and musicians performing workshops and road testing material on our MainStage and in the Ghost Light Pub. As a contemporary theater and an innovator, BCT believes in nurturing artists in the earliest stages of their process by providing a space for experimentation and research to produce the next great album, play, or short story. This new series will feature many works currently in development. We are thrilled to support these bold stories by brilliant minds, nurtured in a safe space where the art can grow and flourish. These artists are ready for an audience to help them shape their work as it moves from the idea stage to our MainStage. Be a part of something meaningful for Boise and beyond!
