This week, the Battle Creek Junior Theatre (BCJT) Board of Directors regretfully decided to reject the proposal for our summer performance program submitted by our recent Artistic Director, Rochelle Moser. BCJT is a nonprofit theatre organization with a limited budget and one of our primary goals is to try to keep costs as low as possible for participants. We find we are not currently able to meet her production team’s compensation requirements without raising participation fees for the kids. Accordingly, we are looking at other, less cost-prohibitive options for running the program and keeping the doors open to as many as possible who wish to participate. Please understand, this was a very difficult decision and not one we made lightly. We gratefully acknowledge the level of talent and expertise Rochelle and her team brought to the program this past year and hope we can work with them again in the future. For now, we wish Rochelle the best of luck in her many other endeavors.

Inquiries regarding this decision may be made to board@battlecreekjuniortheatre.com.

Battle Creek Junior Theatre (BCJT) will hold their 2013 Spring Silent Auction during the run of the upcoming production of ‘High School Musical Jr.’, which will run February 22nd, 23rd, & 24th. The silent auction will be held in the lobby of the McQuiston Learning Center located at 100 West Van Buren Street, Battle Creek on the corner of Mc Camly and Van Buren. Bidding for the silent auction takes place in person, at the McQuiston Center during each performance of ‘High School Musical Jr.’ (Friday 2/22 6:30pm to end of show, Saturday 2/23 12:30 to end of second show, and Sunday 2/24 2:30pm-end of show).
