BackStory Theatre's is a Broomfield-based non-profit organization that provides affordable performing arts education and performance opportunities for children, adults, and families and broadly accessible live theatre production opportunities for Broomfield, Colorado and surrounding communities. BackStory accomplishes this mission by providing free theatre arts programs at schools and through other local organizations, by offering affordable class and performance fees, by reducing fees through student work-study programs and parent volunteer opportunities, by extending scholarships to families in need, and by making performances open to the public at a cost as low as $3 per ticket (and free for children under 4). We believe in the power of theatre to enhance confidence, build social skills, and empower people of all ages to see themselves as capable of accomplishing their goals. Through theatre, we dream big and realize the power we have to create change in our world. A basic rule in improvisation is to say, “Yes, and…” and we know that anything is possible when we all say ‘yes, and’ lift each other up. Experience, adaptive needs, identity, and economic ability should never be a barrier to experiencing the power and joy of theatre!
