YAAY! You can sign up for as many or as few classes as you would like! If there is a long gap between your classes, you will have to leave the building and come back in time for your next one.
What’s this camp called, again?
Home BAAYse, pronounced like “home base” but isn’t it fun to be punny? We want everyone to feel they belong at BAAY and feel at home…so…Home BAAYse. Get it?
Do you offer discounts for signing up for multiple classes or for siblings?
Yes – see our Specials page for discount codes!
What about lunch and snacks, if I am at BAAY for a long time?
If you plan to be at BAAY for a long time, please bring enough food and water to get you through, and please clean up after yourself.
Are all the ages and classes going to be in the same space?
During camp there will be three active learning spaces being utilized within our building: the upstairs costuming studio, the State Street Studio space, and the main theatre.

Please email the instructor to ask if there is flexibility on enrollment in the class.
