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. In 2023, we received the TYA/USA National Award for Artistic Innovation.

BLC has been on the Touring Roster of Texas Commission on the Arts since 2020 and is a Young Audiences of Houston arts partner. Learn more at www.brave-little.com.
