Education Mission:

Boston Theater Company’s education program for youth and teens offers innovative ensemble-based theatrical experiences that are collaborative and contemporary. We design our programs to engage young people creatively, physically, and analytically, to challenge them to think in new ways, and to promote reflection about themselves, each other, and the world around them. We embody radical acceptance of every student who passes through a workshop or production in our program, honoring the truth of their identities and experience and allowing those identities and experiences to infuse the work, whether a classic text or a devised piece. In BTC education programs, we support students to harness their potential for teamwork, play, and empathy.

All our education programs are offered on a sliding scale because we are deeply committed to making theater accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. We believe that no student or school should miss out on the transformative power of live theater due to financial constraints. If your school or organization cannot afford the full cost of our programs, we encourage you to reach out to us. Discounts, including free programming, are available through our sliding scale application. Please email us to learn more and apply.

In 2026 Boston Theater Company will be touring :

BTC provides all aspects of the production! We bring a cast of professional actors to your institution and we adapt to any size audience, from a large auditorium to a small classroom. All performances have a complimentary talk back session afterwards. Our touring productions are available April through May 2025 see below to add on a workshop after the performance.

"The students absolutely loved it and it was a perfect addition to our Shakespeare curriculum to see professional actors bring it to life in a very middle school-friendly way." - Park School
