Playing It Forward

Proceeds from the sale of various items such as fairy wings created by the cast during Peter Pan, were donated to various children's hospitals. Previous recipients include Evergreen Youth and Family Services, elephant refuges, Great River Rescue, and the Bemidji Community Food Shelf. Project Literacy, which combines the magic of theater with the magic of reading, has been a major component of BCT’s Playing It Forward Program for a number of years.
