The Theatre’s Mission

The mission of this theatre company is to enrich Omaha and its surrounding areas with the highest quality, professional theatre, meant to engage, educate and entertain, stimulating both feeling and thought. 

BSB actualizes this goal by (1) offering artists a professional venue to pursue their craft; (2) specializing in the choice of material it produces (classic plays and literary works, from ancient through modern) under consistent and exemplary Artistic Direction; and (3) reaching out to the community through workshops, lectures and performances, making classic works accessible and relevant to people of all ages.  By communicating well-told stories through professional directing and performance, Brigit Saint Brigit is enhancing the quality of life for those it reaches and is striving to extend that reach by establishing a regional repertory theatre.

Programming

1.) The Theatre mounts 4 to 6 full-length productions in a September through May season. Scripts are selected to dynamically deliver  
     always-relevant classics, while providing audiences with the widest contrast of genres, time periods, and cultures.
2.) BSB regularly employs a professional Artistic and Executive Director.  All actors, designers and stage managers are contracted and
     paid on a per-show basis, but most casts are comprised of, but not limited to, a core company of repertory players whose training and
     rapport significantly contributes to the artistic consistency of our productions.
3.) Through its Literacy Touring Program (LTP), BSB further extends its community presence through distinguished, affordable
     educational programming. Unique interactive classes, workshops, seminars, lectures, and performances related to the plays that the
     Theatre is offering in that particular season are created each year for middle schools, high schools, universities, and community
     groups. For more information, contact Scott Kurz through one of the methods on the 'Contact Us' page.
4.) Each February, BSB celebrates its namesake and the rich literary contributions of the Irish Celts by mounting an Irish-authored classic
     or contemporary play. Often, collateral events such as music, dancing, or speakers are presented in conjunction with the play.
