Brel Theatre & Drama

BSB is in the privileged position of having a working theatre on campus. The Brel Theatre comprises a fully equipped auditorium with an entrance area that is also used for exhibitions. The Theatre is a flat stage with raked seating for 240 people, large wing space, a fully functional workshop and a Green Room.








The Brel Theatre is equipped, with more than sixty lamps on four bridges, state-of-the-art sound and light equipment ,and a powerful projector for video and PowerPoint presentations.  Controlled from a modern lighting box, high quality visual effects can be produced to supplement School productions.

The Horta Studio is a flexible studio space that seats 100 people. A fully functional lighting rig that lowers to ground level for easy access, state-of-the-art surround sound and a separate technical booth make this a perfect venue for smaller, more intimate productions.

There is a large Costume Department, housing more than 2,500 costumes, that often creates costumes specifically for a show.

The Drama Department has access to two rehearsal rooms that enable unimpeded exploration of practical work. These both have full access to sound and computer equipment.

Many other venues round the School are converted to allow the creation of temporary theatre spaces, among them the Groenplan, to create an outside theatre.
