Founded by five dedicated Teaching Artists in 1998, ETC's mission is to unlock the potential of children and adults through immersion in theatre arts. Rooted in our "4 Cs" – creativity, confidence, collaboration, and community - ETC's artistic focus has always been on student-created work. In our programs, we foster opportunities for students of all ages to create their own characters, write their own dialogue, and tell their own stories. For ETC, the process of how students arrive at the work they share is just as vital as the products they create.
