Black Arts Production (BAP) Theatre Ltd was founded in 1992. At that time it was felt that there was a lack of opportunity for Black and Ethnic Minorities performing on TV and in Theatre. This, we feel, is still the case. Our aims therefore are to educate those minorities who are interested in the arts; to train young people and adults in all aspects of theatre performance; and also to use drama as a catalyst to bring about awareness of social issues that affect our communities.

BAP offers extensive and stimulating drama training for those students interested in a career in acting. This course is structured to give students insight into the world of acting. Our students will be trained to a high level to develop a range of skills which will enable them to bring thought, energy and commitment to their acting, giving them the tools to succeed in a competitive industry. Students will not only work with BAP tutors but also with directors, professional actors, set designers, stage managers and writers working in the profession.
