ETI is a unique blend of some of the most experienced and talented professionals in the arts community.  Our varied membership consists of professional actors, experienced educators, facilitators, artists, dancers, musicians, and visual artists.  ETI’s customized staff development provides educators with the chance to learn and practice theatre techniques, which can then be utilized to teach their entire curriculum.

 Advancing Art Education

ETI exposes youth and educators to the arts by incorporating visual, theatrical, dance and musical activities into the curriculum. Each program is individualized for your group, and can be based on literature, such as Open Court stories, or any subject matter. Educational materials, such as Study Guides, provided in advance, provide background information on the artists and the art form, and suggest ways to extend the arts experience into the classroom, complete with tie-ins to academic standards.
