“To produce art with
the talents of multidisciplinary artists who EDUCATE, ENTERTAIN and ENLIGHTEN
society with the ideals of classical, contemporary, and original cutting
edge works of art.”
BCKSEET’s Company Members
write, compose, publicize, direct, design, perform, and teach.
EDUCATE
From its inception at Emerson College, BCKSEET considers education paramount
in its mission. The Company continually strives to provide fledgling artists
with career opportunities while developing programming to train Philadelphia’s
next generation of professionals. The Company members constantly collaborate
with outside artists, other theatre companies, and Universities in order
to provide our audiences and students with the best theatre experience
possible.
ENTERTAIN
By immersing our audiences in the piece with original scores, atmospheric
set design, and collaboration with community organizations, BCKSEET creates
a unique theatrical experience. The Company transforms its space to compliment
each show and explores new and old works with a contemporary lens to provide
challenging, thought-provoking, and original seasons.
ENLIGHTEN
Tantamount to our education endeavors, BCKSEET collaborates with community
organizations on each production in order to raise awareness and money
for local causes. By selecting socially-important texts and linking their
thematic elements to pertinent contemporary struggles, BCKSEET highlights
the plight of those charities who have been strapped in the “backseat.”
