At BLP it is our hope that no student will have to miss out on an enriching performance opportunity due to financial concerns. While we are not able to guarantee aid to all who apply, we do our best to provide financial support to those for whom cost may be a limiting factor. To request our financial aid application, please contact info@brokenlegproductions.com.

Policy Documents

Please review the following documents and policies before program start.

ACT LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Additional Educational Opportunities

Are you interested in working with older students as an ensemble cast member? A select number of rising 9th graders enrolled in both youth programs will be chosen to participate in our high school/college Program as performance apprentices.

BLP Backstage

A technical theater program in conjunction with our
Youth Mini-Session

Do you love the theater, but prefer to stay out of the spotlight? Want to help create theater magic behind the scenes? BLP BACKSTAGE is our new technical theater program, created for students who want to learn about the technical aspects of theatrical design and construction.

This program, open to students entering grades 8-10 (current grade 7-9), will allow participants to learn about the theatrical design process, including sets, costumes, props, lighting, and sound. Participants will work together, with the guidance of BLP staff, to develop and execute the designs for our mini-session production of The Addams Family younger@part. Students will be part of the backstage crews for our performances.

Youth Program Internship

There will be limited spaces available for Student Interns who are ENTERING 10th Grade (current 9th graders) and wish to work on the youth productions this summer.

Students interested in interning will be expected to work as leaders in the program and may choose to receive community service hours (this is an unpaid position). Interns will have the opportunity to shadow and learn from senior staff members and develop their skills in various behind-the-scene roles. This will be capped at a limited number of interns (TBD).

In order to be considered for this position you must also be enrolled in at least one of our High School/College programs for Summer 2026. 

Program Apprentice

Open to students ENTERING 9th Grade

There will be limited spaces for “Performance Apprentices” who are ENTERING 9th grade. Students who are registered for BOTH middle school programs may sign up to be an apprentice in ONE OF the high school/college programs for the reduced cost of $300 (50% off). These students will be given the opportunity to work with older students, and learn about the process of putting on a production at this advanced level. Students who are interested can opt to be ensemble members of the cast or work on the tech-side of the production.

BLP is looking for 1-2 Summer Student Board Representatives!

Please consider applying to volunteer if you are a high school/college student, participating in Summer 2023 programming, and interested in a role with responsibility of the following:

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Melrose Cultural Council and the Wakefield Cultural Council, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Why Choose BLP

With so many exciting summer programs, we understand you have many options for your student this summer. So why choose to spend your summer with Broken Leg?

One of BLP’s main goals is to create a family of artists who learn how to express themselves and to connect with the world through the arts. We have a staff of well- trained and qualified individuals who have equal interest in student growth and development as well as theatrical excellence. Our staff loves collaborating with each other and with our students to create the best possible production.

We are a young and energetic company that has grown by leaps and bounds. We love seeing our students grow with us and become more confident, self-aware of their talents and create lasting friendships. At BLP, while artistry and the production are important to us we also teach through games, workshops, hands on experience with technical theatre aspects and more.

Our shows are chosen with the students in mind: what will challenge them? What will bring out their best? What will be FUN? Each process culminates in an amazing fully realized production that students can be proud of and audiences are entertained by. We hope you’ll join us this summer at Broken Leg Productions, where production is fun and theatre becomes family!
