About us
Brave Little Company is theatre for everyone. We create works about, with, and for kids and their grown-ups, reflecting Houston’s diversity in the stories we tell and the artists who tell them.
BLC received the 2023 TYA National Award for Artistic Innovation from TYA/USA, the national service organization supporting, connecting, and advocating for the field of theatre for young audiences.
The TYA Artistic Innovation Award honors an individual or company that has demonstrated innovation—experimentation in content or in form—in recent artistic work in TYA.

If you look closely, you’ll see that something - or someone - is missing from the museum.
Missing from the Museum is an online adventure series for kids ages 9 -14 and their families.
We are excited to announce that the National Endowment for the Arts has again awarded a Grant for Arts Projects to Missing from the Museum, a collaboration between Brave Little Company, Dare to Dream Theatre, Off The Page, and Trike Theatre. We’re looking forward to bringing the third season of this original audience-driven adventure to households around the country!
Season 3 is now playing!
Paper Offerings books are available!
If you want to catch up on the previous adventures of Amy and her family, we’ve combined the letters from Part 1 and Part 2 into books!
90% of profits go to the artists on the creative team.
10% will be donated to BPSOS-Houston, a non-profit serving immigrant and refugee families in Houston in legal, social, and health matters.

First Day, Nueva Escuela
First Day, Nueva Escuela is the story of a girl who overcomes her fear of starting class at a new school (and of reading) by writing herself into the stories. This original work draws inspiration from reading list favorites such as Interrupting Chicken, Carmela Full of Wishes, Tía Isa Wants a Car, A Chair for My Mother, and the Mo Willems books.
