Coming Up at BBPAC

BBPAC has been chosen to workshop this brand new piece geared towards tweens, teens and adults alike as it begins its journey toward Broadway. BBS’s Matt Okin is directing the cast of 17 professional actors, including some with Broadway credits and some BBS regulars in their professional debuts. Look out for details on the 10 performances, which will run every night between 6/22 and 6/30.
