The Academy for Contemporary Theater is BCT’s newest offering. Our gold-standard Theater Lab programs are so successful and popular that we expanded our offerings to both younger and older creatives! With A.C.T. at BCT, we’ve built a ladder for ages 6 to 99+ so artists of all ages can find classes at various skill levels to tell their stories. Come A.C.T. at BCT!
Unlike camps, our education classes are skill-building, confidence-boosting, and friendship-making courses taught by theater professionals. And they are really fun!
Cancellations are subject to a $50 cancellation fee.

For ages 6-18. Kids have a story to tell, and it’s important to listen. They are capable of more than we might expect!
Ages 18+. Train at the premiere acting institution for professional actors and new artists in the Treasure Valley. Now offering year-round classes for adult actors of all levels.
Professional theater training for youth programs and schools throughout the Treasure Valley taught at BCT and local schools and venues.
Some of the valley’s most talented and knowledgeable professional artists!
