"This is a night to celebrate and support the arts in a unique way- through the eyes of young people," revealed BCT Executive Artistic Director Burgess Clark. "Everything we do is targeted toward introducing children to the magic and wonder of theater and then we help to foster and grow that interest throughout their lives. Whether students are drawn to performing, working backstage, participating in a workshop, or becoming a passionate audience member, BCT is often their first exposure to live theater. It is a tremendous honor for all of us at BCT to play such an important role in the lives of so many students. Seeing the support and enthusiasm of the attendees at our Giving Voice event is the ultimate validation of the work that we do every day."
In addition to entertainment by current BCT students and accomplished alumni, the evening also features the culinary delights of many of the city's top restaurants, including The Fairstead Kitchen, Deuxave, Picco, Bernards, Bistro du Midi, Grill 23 and The Fireplace. The event will also feature a silent auction and honorary awards. Giving Voice- A Front Row Fundraiser will be held April 14, 2015 at 6:00 pm at WGBH Studios, 1 Guest Street, Boston, MA.
