BTE is beyond proud of our students shadows who beautifully showcased their hard work and dedication at their open Shadow Rehearsal last night!

BTE's shadow program gives students within the COD Theatre program a chance to shadow a professional actor for an entire rehearsal/run of a show and then perform during an open rehearsal run by our student ASM. A wonderful night filled with dedication, craft, and the talent within the next generation of artists! BRAVO!

Thank you, Mitchell Oldham, for your thoughtful review of "Birthday Candles" at BTE!!!

"Perhaps it’s a cultural phenomenon, but at least in this country we tend to think of aging as the exclusive province of those who are visibly old. But in Birthday Candles, directed with such keen sensitivity by Steve Scott, you see how it’s really an act of maturing—gaining insights into the world we live in and adapting to those newly learned realities."
