Bergen County Players (BCP), one of America's longest-running little theater companies, is not immune to COVID-19. Like all other theaters in the state (and on Broadway), BCP was forced to dim its lights and cancel its season last year to help ensure the safety and well-being of its patrons and members during the current pandemic. To that end, Bergen County Players Academy announces the offering of online classes this spring.
