The BCC was created in 2018 by Philip Markle and Annie Donley, former directors of the infamous Annoyance Theatre NY, with a mission to produce theater that financially rewards artists, fosters and encourages risk-taking and new talent, and inspires students to approach performance from a place of joy.
The BCC fosters and promotes the Brooklyn comedy community by creating a welcoming space for artistic experimentation. We produce shows with a strong point of view and sense of self. We believe in supporting and rewarding artistic producers, most notably through our policy that Producers at BCC earn a significant percentage of the box office (50% of box after the first $55 in ticket sales).
We are pairing this theater program with an original improvisation curriculum designed around three core concepts: first to empower each individual performer to find his or her unique voice and own it with confidence onstage. Second, to pair that specific, personal feedback with an ensemble-minded focus in adding your distinct voice to the group. Lastly, we give each the student the tools and practices to go from the classroom to performing professionally -- by embracing what you and only you can do onstage.
Students at Brooklyn Comedy Collective praise the classes for providing excellent feedback and valuable mentorship. They appreciate the teacher, Sara Hennersson, for her ability to make the classes engaging and stimulating, and for her exceptional analysis and examples that enhance creativity. The classes are highly recommended for beginners, indicating that they provide a strong foundation for learning comedy. Students walk away from the classes with improved skills and enhanced creativity. Direct quotes: 1. "Sara Hennersson gives fantastic feedback and makes the class go by fast." 2. "Her analysis and examples to enhance our own creativity is extraordinary." 3. "Highly recommend this class for beginners."
