| The Literature Alive Project brings children's stories to life on the stage. The event is produced in collaboration with the Tom Green County Library and is designed to promote the joys of literature and theatre to young readers and families throughout the community. Admission to the event is free and every child receives a free book that can be autographed after the show by the story characters. This year's production of "How I Became a Pirate" brought 1,450 people through the local library in just 3 days and 800 "How I Became a Pirate" books were provided to young readers. Literature Alive is an annual event and preparations have already started for the 2018 production. The organization is pleased to bring "Where the Wild Things Are" to the stage in April 2018. | $0 | $8,081 |
| SHAKESPEARE ON THE CONCHO is a program developed in collaboration with The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts to expand the local performing arts and bring Shakespeare to the community. The event is presented outdoors with simple sets and costumes in keeping with Shakespearean traditions as it was presented hundreds of years ago. Families bring picnics and coolers to the south lawn of the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, located on the bank of the Concho River, and enjoy the event for free with no admission costs. The 2017 production of "As You Like It" was adapted in content so that all ages could enjoy this special piece of theatre. 2018 preparations have already started and the organization will bring another great work of Shakespeare to the community. | $0 | $1,748 |
| "The Diary of Anne Frank" was a production of the 2016-2017 season and part of a community effort to share an important story about intolerance from a society that would not accept differences. Each performance was followed by a talk-back session with a local community member of Jewish faith. This production received an overwhelming response from the community and performances quickly sold-out. In cooperation with the San Angelo Cultural Affairs Council, the organization was able to offer free performances to schools, organizations, and church groups. An estimated 315 local students were brought to see the show. | $0 | $4,818 |
| In addition to its community outreach programs, BT Studios Inc offers year-round adult and family oriented productions, which bring the fun and excitement of performing arts to the community.
