About Us
THE BBT PERFORMING COMPANY
The BBT Performing Company was founded in 2013 by Catrina Boscutti to allow our dancers and actors to take their experience to the next level by providing more opportunities to perform and train. Being a part of BBTPC allows our young performers to experience personal growth and inspiration beyond our regular studio recitals. Members begin pre-professional training in their chosen field and have opportunities to demonstrate and work on their skills at various workshops and to showcase their talents at various performances throughout the year. Workshops include the Disney Performing Arts Workshops, which we fundraise for once a year. Other activities include being featured in our recital promotional trailers, local performances, student choreography opportunities, and competitive dance opportunities. Company members also have opportunities to see various local and non-local professional performances. Our company members are required to have longer rehearsal hours and a more demanding rehearsal schedule each semester.

Emerson
Emerson Baldacchino is 12 years old and wants to be an elementary school teacher when she grows up. Her first performance was at the end of her second year of preschool. Her favorite show performing in was Willy Wonka, Jr. She looks up to Jenna Ortega because she has grown up playing many roles and knows how to change her personality to fit the role. When Emerson has a break in rehearsal, she looks at her script, takes notes, and practices her lines or cues. She thinks Peyton is the funniest in the cast because she comes up with funny things and is super dramatic. Emerson enjoys practicing singing or lines with her friends on FaceTime! Is she had a magic wand, she would choose Cinderella as the next show. The last thing she does before going on is walk around in circles, shaking her hands, trying to get ready.

She looks up to singer/songwriter, Marina and the Diamonds because of her confidence. When Lillyn has a rehearsal break, she enjoys doing cartwheels and eating snacks. She thinks she is the funniest person in the cast and would definitely play herself in a movie of her life. If she could choose the next show, it would be Rapunzel or A Wrinkle in Time.
