Learn more about renting our space through our co-production program here.

Instead of simply renting out our space, we would like to offer a different kind of production model —  a partnership model — in which our co-producers bring strong creative ideas and a capable production team and ETC supplies a well-equipped, accessible, “artist-ready” space for performances and rehearsals.

We remain committed to our mission to create space for collaboration, empowerment and the joyful celebration of community using movement and ensemble theater traditions, imaginative play, and aerial arts to help people of all abilities discover their potential, encourage perseverance and embrace their humanity.
