“Black Box Studios is more than just a theater company. My BBS friends are the ones who come over to my house every weekend, and the ones who will break into song in front of a store with me. Black Box is serious and devoted to theater that thrives on making their students experiences easy-going, non-judgmental, and happy. Black Box has changed my life.”

“If I hadn’t started at BBS years ago, I would be a completely different person. I don’t know what I would be doing now. I have matured so much and made so many close friends here. I found the thing I really love to do and I am super happy.”
