Blackfriars Theatre
Summer Intensive

BTSI (pronounced Bitsy) was launched in the summer of 2016. The goal of the program is to provide professional level actor training to the next generation of artists. Focused on rising juniors in high school through newly graduated seniors in college, BTSI offers continued training for students who are interested in or are currently studying to pursue a career in the field. 

Sunday Salons
Join the conversation!

Following the first Sunday performance of every production we hold a talkback with the artists and actors of every show. Stick around after the 2 p.m. performance and share your thoughts, ask the actors questions, get a behind-the-scenes look with the directors and dig deeper into the Blackfriars Theatre process! Each Salon is unique to the specific production and lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. Everyone is welcome!

THE BLACKFRIARS BOOK CLUB RETURNS!

Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson (PDF)

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Blackfriars Book Club will meet virtually one night of every month at 7pm. The program will last about 60-90 minutes and will consist of an open conversation between all participants, facilitated by our BT artists. Blackfriars will announce the play to be read and discussed early in the month, and then we’ll meet over Zoom at the appointed time. To attend the virtual meeting you’ll need a working email address and a smartphone, tablet, iPad or computer with a camera and microphone (or headphones). 

HOW DO I SIGN UP?
Click the “ADD ME TO THE EMAIL LIST!” button above, complete the reservation form - please make sure your email is correct - and we will send you a copy of the script and the information for the virtual meeting. Sign-ups are open to everyone and after you sign up once, you’ll be on our monthly list and automatically receive an email invite. Please note: if you register but don’t receive anything from us after 48 hours, please email us at info@blackfriars.org. Sometimes our responses may go to your spam folder and you might not receive our emails.
