Brava Theater Academy
Brava Theater Academy (BTA) provides free and low-cost classes encompassing a range of theatre arts to youth. The programs run by BTA are for youth and young adults with a focus on self-expression and cultural celebration. BTA programming serves some of San Francisco’s most displaced neighborhoods. The beauty in course work at BTA is participants are constantly interacting with youth from other ethnic and economic backgrounds. BTA programs attract youth of color, girls, foster youth and those at risk to dropout or become involved in the juvenile justice system as well as youth who are actively pursuing theatre arts careers. Historically classes have been comprised of 95% youth of color and 66% young females.
Brava Theater Academy is most interested in exposing youth to the opportunities theater arts can create. Whether the opportunity is to escape home and make believe, pursue the dream of writing a play, learn skills to cope in diverse environments or simply start a new way of looking at the world, BTA is an extraordinary theatre program in an extraordinary city.
