THE 2025 MAINSTAGE RESIDENCY

The BCC is excited to announce the return of our Mainstage Residency program, in which an ensemble creates an original show. Helmed by Artistic Director, Philip Markle, and Associate Director, Maya Sharma, this cast will create an original revue featured in a 6-week run on the Mainstage at BCC. Over the course of a 2 month-long rehearsal process, cast members will devise sketch, character, clown, musical comedy, and solo pieces, in addition to improvised elements, that will add up to a thematic whole for the show. This professional process will include significant out-of-rehearsal writing and preparation, all geared toward creating a polished show that plays to the BCC's "fuck it, love it / fun & dumb" style of comedy. This residency is a way to build your performance chops and strengthen your collaborative process.
