Broadway at Boston Avenue (BABA)

Just as, according to legend, the village of Brigadoon emerges from the mist in Scotland at regular intervals, a Broadway musical has emerged at Boston Avenue Church every summer since 1983. Although not the first church in Tulsa to incorporate a drama ministry in its programs, BABA is the longest running series of its kind in our city. One reason for its success and longevity is careful planning and a clear mission.

BABA's 2007 Production

Providing an intergenerational venue for church members of all ages has been a guiding rationale for the program. The summer musical offers children, youth, and adults the opportunity to be engaged in an activity as equals, everyone working for an experienced director. Some of the best-known names in community theatre have directed productions at Boston Avenue, but those on stage are church members only.

High quality musical theater experiences offer members the opportunity to share their talents and develop new skills. As performers, they must create well-defined characters and employ self-discipline. Participants often return to the program year after year because they have tasted spiritual creativity and have enjoyed it.
