Engaging, Enhancing and Inspiring Learning
ENCHANTED CIRCLE THEATER, founded in 1976, is a non-profit, professional educational theater company dedicated to engaging, enhancing and inspiring learning through the arts.
Our programs, known to expand the boundaries of what is generally presented in schools, integrate theater arts - theater, dance, music, visual and literary arts – with academic and social curricula. We offer in-depth artist-in-residence programs, professional development training for teachers, touring and site-based performances, and creative arts workshops. We work in schools, professional theaters, community centers and human service agencies, with people of all ages and abilities.
ECT’s programmatic objectives are to provide youth with programs which foster imagination, resourcefulness and self-esteem; to support teachers in developing creative teaching techniques and curriculum plans to engage their students’ diverse learning styles and needs; and to build community through creative education programs of social relevance.

We are inner city. Forty percent of our 6th graders read below the 25th percentile. Our students, who sometimes are rude and noisy - were attentive, well-behaved and focused during the performance. This is the way to increase reading achievement scores—by motivating students to read!
