Family Theatre at the Mishler

 
The Family Theatre at the Mishler series was developed by BCAF in 1986 to create more cultural opportunities for young people.  With the consistently declining budget allocations for arts programs within the school district, the continuation of these valuable programs becomes an even greater priority.  This annual series of professional productions attracts nearly 20,000 children, parents, and educators each season and makes a significant contribution to the early childhood educational process. 

We choose our plays with tender loving care, making sure that each and every presentation reinforces the wonderful family values of laughing, learning, and loving.  So please join us for a wonderful 2007-2008 season.
