Who We Are
Our Mission
Enchantment Theatre Companys mission is to inspire children to dream, explore, think, and connect through imaginative storytelling onstage and in the classroom.
We bring stories to life in a way that encourages children to dream about who they are and may become, to explore story from different perspectives, to think using inductive reasoning, and to connect to other people and ideas. Our programs encourage children to question and explore how to live in a complex world so that they grow up healthier, smarter, and kinder.

Enchantment Theatre Company aspires to transform young audiences into creative, curious, and compassionate adults.

We Believe That
Theatre has the power to illuminate, transform, and heal.
Experiencing theatre is essential for children to thrive.
We have a responsibility to nurture, honor, and respect the imagination of our audience.
Fables, fairy tales, and myths stimulate intuitive thinking and encourage the possibility of mystery and magic in our lives.
Theatre can create community by bringing together a diverse audience encompassing all ages and backgrounds.
We have a responsibility to reach out to children and families who may not otherwise have access to the unique kind of artistic and educational experiences that we provide.
The intentional application of access and inclusion is paramount.
We have a responsibility to create a working environment that encourages authentic and empowered participation and a true sense of belonging, enabling artists, staff and Board to be fully self-expressive.
How we work with one another matters.
What Motivates Us
Enchantment Theatre Company believes that quality theatre can do more than just entertain. Theatre offers children an experience that awakens feelings of wonder, empathy, and joy. It fosters creativity; it promotes literacy by engaging students with a variety of learning styles; and it deepens connections between people and ideas.
