How to Support ETC during COVID-19 Delays:

Even during a shut-down, our priority is to continue to fulfill 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.

The necessary steps we have taken to help ensure optimal public health will have direct financial consequences for all theaters and teaching artists, including ours. ETC tries to operate with fiscal prudence, but we can’t sustain our operations for long without classes. We estimate a loss of at least $40,000.  If the closure extends beyond May, our total loss for Spring is approximately $104,800. For those willing and able to make a gift at this time, know that your support will help us get through this challenging time.

Your fully tax-deductible donations of support can be made on our website HERE.

Unable to donate cash?

• Consider purchasing a class card or gift certificate to be used in the future.


• Reserve Echo for your party this fall.


• Consider signing up for private lessons later in the summer.


• Register for online classes, see below for details!

We wish you and your loved ones good health and safety and we appreciate you being a part of the ETC family.

Spring 2020 Classes:

Youth Spring Term and Adult Spring Term

Spring Term note: We have made the challenging decision to cancel our Spring Term classes. We have left the schedule online to give families a tentative preview of our Fall Term offerings. If safe to do so, our Fall Term will look a lot like our Spring Term. Questions? Suggestions? Please email us at hello@echotheaterpdx.org. 

Now Enrolling Summer Camps:

Online & In-Person Summer Camps — June 15 – August 21 

Are you running Summer Camps & Classes?
Yes! We plan to run Summer Camps & Classes in the Echo Theater and online!

In-Person Camps & Classes at Echo:
We are following health and safety guidelines closely, creating protocols and procedures, and adapting our camp flow accordingly. We have decreased the capacity of camps & classes to make social distancing possible. There will be 10 students maximum in camp and class, and we plan to give each camper their own mats, aerial equipment, and space.

If it becomes clear that in-person camps & classes cannot take place safely, we will cancel as necessary and contact all registered students. Please let us know if you have questions about a specific camp, class, or student. We are happy to help in any way we can!

Be on the lookout for an announcement on select in-person classes in July.
