Teaching
"It is a credit to your program's effectiveness that absenteeism at school declined on the days of your program. The students did not want to miss an ECT day."

ENCHANTED CIRCLE THEATER's teaching 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 and focused workshop series to help youth become active, engaged, and resourceful learners by making classroom curriculum relevant and compelling.
Our professional development programs support teachers in the development of creative curriculum projects, and provide effective techniques for using theater arts as a dynamic teaching tool.
We work in schools, professional theaters, community centers and human service agencies, with people of all ages and abilities.
"I most enjoyed seeing children develop confidence in themselves and grow in their ability to express themselves on stage. The students learned to work as a team, and never felt so proud of their accomplishment."
~5th grade teacher, Jackson Street School, Northampton, MA
