“The right mix of scrappy and chaotic...a leading house of improvisation.” - The New York Times
Ah, what a year it's been. Just check out the 2024 BCC WRAPPED!
The BCC has grown and grown and the community is stronger than ever. We couldn't be more grateful and excited for 2025. But now...it is time for the Holiday Break. Come join us in the new year - see a show, take a class (and Santa Sparkle wants you to know they are quickly selling out), and sing a song of laughter with us.
Come be unapologetically [insert non-white race here] and unapologetically goofy on stage with us on the 1st Friday of each month at 7pm at the BCC Pig Pen!
Free for BCC Students w/ suggested donation to Div. Scholarship!
