History

Brookings Community Theatre was unofficially formed in 2001 by a small group of theater enthusiasts with their first stage show produced in 2002. Since then BCT has developed into a non-profit organization that is known for the quality of its shows.
In 2010 BCT became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. BCT operates on donations from local private and corporate sponsors. All donations are tax-deductible. DONATE TODAY!

Purpose

Brookings Community Theatre's mission is to enrich Brookings and surrounding communities by providing theatrical entertainment, as well as offering educational and performance opportunities for people of all ages.

We strive to provide three main stage shows per year.

Any persons interested in attending a meeting should contact [email protected] before 1pm on the 2nd Thursday to obtain meeting location. Thank you for being patient while we find a new home!

The Christie's (LtoR: Spencer, Matt, Bunny & Tucker)

---

The Brookings Community Theatre board is happy to announce this season’s Volunteers of the Year to be the Christie family! Matt, Bunny, Tucker, and Spencer Christie are a family that we can call on whenever we need some heavy lifting or a lot of help. Every one of them has stepped up through the years to help BCT continue to provide the Brookings area with quality performances. 
Matt is starting his 20th year teaching 7th grade Math at Mickelson Middle School. Bunny is the Infection Preventionist at Brookings Health System. The boys are both juniors. Tucker in in the College of Education and Human Sciences at South Dakota State University pursuing a degree in K-8 education. Spencer is busy in three sports and activities at the Brookings High School. 
Bunny started participating in BCT shows in 2007, has served on the BCT board (presiding as President during some of that time), and is currently the Costume Committee Head. She has directed numerous musicals as well. Many of them involving a LOT of children! During that time, the Christie men have helped her build sets, props, create costumes, and have even performed on stage! The entire family also helped move BCT’s costume and prop areas not once, but twice. While the guys may not be as big as theatre buffs as Bunny, they have done a terrific job when put to task. 
When I asked Bunny what her favorite BCT production has been she told me she’d have a hard time picking a favorite. She added that she has enjoyed making lasting friendships and watching scripts come to life. When I asked the Christie men what they have enjoyed the most, they all thought getting to use their creativity in building sets has been their favorite part. 
The Christie family enjoys time around the kitchen table playing board games and cards. They love watching collegiate wrestling and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bunny loves to scrapbook; the boys would probably say that collecting shoes is her biggest hobby! Tucker has played rugby the last few years in college so the Christies learned they really enjoy that sport, too! 
The entire BCT board wants to shout out a huge THANKS to the Christie family!
