BTAC Around the World Program- Interactive hybrid online and in person education program as part of Berklee Theater for Young Audiences. Berklee students collaborate in the classroom to write and stage 10-minute original musicals. These musicals are then shared online with students in other countries. Those countries share their artistic projects with our students as well, and students from both countries engage in collaborative workshop activities together. There is a strong focus on cultural exchange.
Berklee on Broadway Industry Trip Showcase- Each year the Career Center hosts a Berklee on Broadway (BOB Berklee NYC campus trip with a diverse group of panelists from the industry including notable alumni.
