What's Happening

Volunteers are what community theater is all about.  The actors, the technical staff, the backstage workers, the costume crew, the props crew, the sets crew, the box office, the ushers, the concession stand…and for BDACT, even the Board of Directors and its various subcommittees.  Without volunteers none of those areas function. Even the audiences are volunteers!

Over the course of the last 60 Seasons at BDACT there have been several ways to answer that question. In the 1960s, most of the early directors came from within the group who started the theater. Along the way, others outside the original group began to inquire, and sometimes, were even recruited, to direct a show.

The greatest “Achilles Heel” of any community theatre or arts-related enterprise is funding. That’s why many are started with good intentions and high hopes, only to fold in coming years for lack of financial resources. So how has BDACT navigated the rough waters and survived to celebrate our 60th Season? Simply put, we rely heavily upon the generosity of our community members.
