Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) announces its 2022 BAMkids spring programming-a line-up of theater puppetry, music, and film for kids and families. The exciting new season features one-of-a-kind programs channeling the power of live performance.

The spring season kicks off with the joyous return of circus, dance, and interactive activities at the 24th annual BAMkids Film Festival - complemented by virtual workshops and on-demand offerings. Additional programs include the stunning shadow puppetry of Song of the North and the live energetic jazz and hip-hop concert Get Up, Stand Up! Jazz Rapastic. This season invites kids to come together to dream, laugh, and let loose with their creativity.

"We are thrilled to bring you a season that will inspire you, that will delight you, that will take your breath away, and start extraordinary conversations," said BAM Director of Family Programming, Steven McIntosh. "Our season is filled with moments of connectedness and journeys-of the unexpected magic of a festival, the transcendent power of theater, and the undeniable energy of hip-hop. We have been waiting for this moment and look forward to seeing you all soon."

Tickets for BAMkids Film Festival (in person) go on sale on January 20 for the general public (January 18 for Members). Tickets for Song of the North and Get Up, Stand Up!
