The Anansi production was presented over 4 days to 100 preschool and elementary school students, as well as family and community members. The play featured interactive moments in which the audience used noise makers to create jungle sounds.

  • Is Anybody Listening was BAE's first original full length play. The group used the works of Studs Turkel as a base to explore the recession. BAE participants then interviewed community members to see how the recession was affecting families in the Bronx. Participants broke up into production teams to manage all aspects of the show: marketing, props and costumes, writers bench, and so forth. Over 120 people were in attendance.
