CLASSES AT ETC

ETC classes teach the three pillars of theater:
acting, singing and dancing to actors with physical & developmental disabilities.

Through games, improvisation, music, and dance, our program enhances verbal skills, improves movement, builds self-confidence, and fosters socialization while stimulating creativity.

Our classes provide an inclusive environment that encourages creativity, fun, learning, love, and so much more!

Scholarships are available based on financial need thanks to the generosity of
Jim Moran Foundation.
