Join BAM’s Award-Winning and Nationally Recognized Musical Theater Competition Teams! 

 

The BAM Conservatory Ensembles (BCE) offer professional training programs throughout the academic year for students who want to excel in musical theater performance. There are multiple levels to the program: JrBCE is designed for students in Grades 4 - 8, while BCE is designed for high school students. In both levels of the audition based program, students take part in a rigorous curriculum of classes, workshops, exclusive productions, and participation in the internationally acclaimed Junior Theater Festival (JTF). This is the ultimate opportunity for young performers to level up their theater training, collaborate with peers who share the same passion for musical theater, and network with industry professionals, on both a local and national level.

​

In addition to the Junior and Senior Companies, BAM also offers BCE Prep, a preparatory program which is a stepping stone towards participation in one of the advanced BAM Conservatory Ensembles.

BCE Prep will meet throughout the academic year, and is designed for students in Grades 2 - 6.
