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.

The afternoon was a perfect blend of history and learning. I was so impressed with the style and content of the presentations…I have enjoyed most of the Teaching American History programs I have been to, but this one was by far the best, the most fun, and had the most creative format. The information I learned and the ideas I took away for teaching my students was by far the best.
