Community Collaborations
ENCHANTED CIRCLE THEATER has made a commitment over the last decade to taking a leadership position in our community, developing theater work with young people which addresses issues of social justice, and creating programs which act as a bridge between cultures.
We’ve created intergenerational theater projects with Jewish elders (women) and Hispanic teens (girls) in Holyoke, and program with teenage boys and elders in Springfield exploring the theme of "home."
We created the Children’s Parade at FIRST NIGHT NORTHAMPTON, and the YOUTHARTS Parade in Holyoke, to showcase the incredible positive talent of creative youth in the city.
ECT regularly provides enrichment services with The Boys and Girl Club of Holyoke, The CARE Center for Pregnant and Parenting Teens, Head Start, Holyoke Family Literacy, El Arco Iris Community Art Center, Valley Opportunity Council, and Family Services Network.
