LEARN & ENGAGE
From workshops and classes to project-based partnerships and community dialogue, our education offerings harness the dynamic power of theatre to activate learning for people of all ages and abilities.
Each of us has a story.
Ensemble Theatre believes in the importance of enriching curious minds and empowering our community. We recognize theatre as a collaborative art form that thrives on and is strengthened by a diverse, inclusive environment and varied lived experiences.
The recipient of the 2019 Ohio Governor’s Award for Arts Education, Ensemble Theatre creates engaging social and supportive educational experiences with a goal of igniting and inspiring artistic passions.
We are committed to providing a broad range of educational and engagement programs to audiences, teachers, and students of all ages and abilities.
We use theatre to bond community, to expand and enhance our understanding of ourselves and others, and to unlock our creativity and ability as artists.
