Brave Little Company is Theatre for Everyone.
We create and produce work about, with, and for all of Houston’s kids and their grown-ups. We reflect Houston’s diversity in the stories we tell and the artists who tell them, creating theatre the way kids play.
Founded in 2013, we have four main areas of work: creating and producing work about, with, and for all of Houston's kids, with a focus on dual language work; THE BIG "US" PROJECT, a collaborative theatre initiative created by 100 members of Houston's refugee and immigrant communities; Wish You Were Here, a creative collaboration with students with disabilities; and teaching artist residencies serving the needs of students and teachers.
BLC received the 2023 TYA National Award for Artistic Innovation from TYA/USA, the the national service organization supporting, connecting, and advocating for the field of theatre for young audiences. The TYA Artistic Innovation Award honors an individual or company that has demonstrated innovation—experimentation in content or in form—in recent artistic work in TYA.
In addition to THE BIG "US" PROJECT, recent works include Paper Offerings, a science fiction play series set in Houston's Vietnamese community and told through letters, Grandpa's Garden, a musical science and history class taught by characters; Missing from the Museum, a collaboration among 4 theatres nationwide highlighting women artists throughout history and around the world; and Our Stories Belong: A Rainbow Storytime for ALL of Houston's Kids, created in partnership with Holocaust Museum Houston and the Montrose Center.
BLC has been on the Touring Roster of Texas Commission on the Arts since 2020 and is a Young Audiences of Houston arts partner.
