BAT has been given another 4 boxes of books of scripts and books on theater. We love those kinds of donations. Thank you to the fine donor. BAT now has a fair number of boxes…
Here at BAT we often feel like these cute little bats. That is, dependent upon the kindness of you, our donor, for our very survival. Without you BAT would cease to exist. Thank you, thank…
Theater (like much of real life) is often about desire, about looking into people’s hearts and seeing what they want. Those yearnings, and the actions we take to fulfill them, are a large part of…
This time meet Matt Aguayo. A firm believer that dancing through life is the best choice one can make, Matt is a self-proclaimed magician and merry-maker in all things art. Matt holds a BFA in…
BAT has insurance. Not such a big deal. BAT always buys insurance. This year, however, BAT was able to find a local agent who could place theater insurance. That is a very good thing. BAT supports local business and the local economy every time it can. As summarized in a 2012 report:
From large urban cities to small rural towns, Arts & Economic Prosperity IV demonstrates that the arts are an industry—one that supports jobs, generates government revenue, and is a cornerstone of tourism. Business and elected leaders need not feel that a choice must be made between arts funding and economic prosperity. This study proves that they can choose both. Nationally as well as locally, the arts mean business!
BAT (used to be BLT) is beginning its 2013-14 season. It will be fantastical. It is a great time to volunteer. But why volunteer?
Over the years I have thought a lot about that. If it was all about the money, who would volunteer? No one. So there must be more.
Volunteering at BAT you are part of something bigger than yourself. You are part of something that helps your community both financially and culturally, but there is more.
Yes, when the lights go down it is about the actors and the script, but that is literally the culmination of the work of hundreds of people. Some do a little, some do a lot, but no one person could get a show up on its feet.
Without volunteers and donors, BAT would die. Because of BAT’s wonderful volunteers, who do what makes them feel better about themselves and helps all of those who come to see a performance at BAT, better live theater thrives at BAT.
BLT (soon to be BAT) is very excited to announce its 2013-14 Season! And what a fantastical season it is!
First the good news! Ticket prices remain the same. That’s right a season ticket or a Fabulous Four Pack remain just $60 general admission and $48 for students/seniors and active military! That price cannot be beat.
