Boston Children's Theatre is an entertainment organization based in Boston, operating as a long-standing nonprofit dedicated to presenting theatre produced and performed by children that meets professional standards. Since its founding in 1951, the company has offered a range of programs—live performances, classes, workshops, and summer activities—targeted at young people and families, with the aim of providing affordable, accessible opportunities for youth to engage in theatre. As one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the United States, BCT has served more than a million children through its productions and educational initiatives, emphasizing collaboration between inner-city and suburban participants. The organization has evolved under multiple leadership changes, most recently appointing Burgess Clark as executive artistic director in 2008, and it has since expanded its offerings to include a Pre-Professional Training Program and related classes and master classes. The company operates within the entertainment providers industry, focusing on youth theatre and education as its core value proposition for its audiences and participating students.
