Broadway at
Boston Avenue
(BABA)
Just as, according to legend, the village of Brigadoon emerges from the mist in Scotland at regular intervals, a Broadway musical has emerged at Boston Avenue Church every summer since 1983. Although not the first church in Tulsa to incorporate a drama ministry in its programs, BABA is the longest running series of its kind in our city. One reason for its success and longevity is careful planning and a clear mission.

Providing an intergenerational venue for church members of all ages has been a guiding rationale for the program. The summer musical offers children, youth, and adults the opportunity to be engaged in an activity as equals, with everyone working for an experienced director. Some of the best-known names in community theatre have directed productions at Boston Avenue, but those on stage are church members only.
High quality musical theater experiences offer members the opportunity to share their talents and develop new skills. As performers, they must create well-defined characters and employ self-discipline.
Participants often return to the program year after year because they have tasted spiritual creativity and have enjoyed it.

Youth Drama Opportunities
BAY (Boston Avenue Youth) Troupe is a thriving group of senior-high thespians who are interested in the dramatic arts. These gifted youth have performed in many successful productions during the past few years including: Miracle on 34th Street, Godspell, Fiddler on the Roof, Cotton Patch Gospel, Big, Into the Woods, Annie, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Barnum, and, most recently, The Grand Tour. Rehearsals are primarily on Sunday afternoons from 12:30-3:30, and leads/soloists also rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 6:45-9, although not all cast members are required to be at every rehearsal. BAY Troupe meets in the spring and is directed by Angelyn Dale and Dr. Joel Panciera. Senior-High Youth Director Audra Fogle serves as “Producer” for this ministry. All Boston Avenue senior high youth are encouraged to participate!
This year, BAY Troupe will perform “Curtains.”

Mid-High Mosaic, our mid-high drama group, is a group of multitalented youth who bring all they have together to create a beautiful picture - just like a mosaic is created from many different tiles. "Part of the theme is the fact that we sometimes don't feel like we fit in, but when we come together, we are a wonderful group of talented youth." Rehearsals are primarily on Sunday afternoons from 12:30-3:30, and leads/soloists also rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 6:45-9, although not all cast members are required to be at every rehearsal. Mid-High Mosaic meets in the fall and is directed by Rev. Mary Ann Emmons and Joan Hatley. Mid-High Youth Director Debbie Peterson serves as “Producer” for this ministry.
