The Theatre’s Mission
   Brigit Saint Brigit wants to provide the kind of timeless professional theatre experience -- in quality of material and performances worthy of that material -- which, in the words of Ossie Davis, “magnifies the presence of the human spirit” -- a communal feast of stories which nourishes our need to connect with each other and our humanity.
   The Brigit Saint Brigit Theatre Company (BSB) was founded to revitalize classic literature by making it come alive through professional-quality performance and related, educationally-focused programming. The Theatre utilizes the term ‘classic’ to include both plays and adaptations of literature, from antiquity through the present, that speak eloquently to universal themes and the human condition.

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.) Through its Literacy Touring Program (LTP), funded in part by the Gilbert C. Swanson Foundation, 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 Amy Kunz through one of the methods on the 'Contact Us' page.
3.) 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.

Funding
Brigit Saint Brigit Theatre is a nonprofit Nebraska corporation, recognized by the IRS as a 501(C)(3) entity, so contributions to it are tax deductible.  In addition to gate receipts and fees for educational services, the Theatre is sustained by contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations.  Funders can underwrite one or more elements of a play (costumes, actor fees, newsletter, and so on) or can sponsor an entire production.  For more information regarding potential sponsorship, contact Cathy Kurz  through one of the methods on the 'Contact Us' page.
