Arts Education

TIC shows are traditionally original works presented in an animated story-theatre style featuring imaginative props, costumes, music, and student participation followed by a lively post-performance discussion. Our TIC performances have been seen by hundreds of thousands of kids in “gymacafetoriums” since 1978.

BTE Theatre School offers a range of classes, workshops, and camps designed to teach the fundamentals of the theater arts on an age-appropriate basis: critical reading, aesthetic analysis, creative thinking and problem solving, collaboration, theatre technology, oral interpretation, movement, and more.

Project Discovery is BTE's comprehensive theatre education program with a simple yet powerful mission: make sure every student from every high school in the five counties surrounding Bloomsburg attends professional performances by the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble at least once a year free of charge.

Each fall we host area high school students for a day of workshops taught by industry professionals. Topics include: acting and audition techniques, dialects, musical theatre and dance, stage makeup, and technical theatre.
