Welcome

Birmingham Children's Theatre Mission Statement: To educate, entertain and enrich the lives of children through the magic of professional theatre.

Birmingham Children's Theatre, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) was founded in 1947. Since that time, BCT has grown to become one of America's largest professional theatres for young audiences, and now operates in a three-theatre complex at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama. BCT produces 8 shows seasonally, four of which tour, giving the theatre a combined audience of over 200,000 each year.
