Thanks to your steadfast support, we are back, and our new season is already in full force!

We couldn’t have made it through without your support, commitment and encouragement.
We are gearing up for one of the busiest and most spectacular seasons in our history—complete with old friends, new projects, exciting collaborators, and a new strategic plan to guide our future. We couldn’t have made it to this place of renewed hope without your support.
Thank you.

Spring 2023 Activities
We are thrilled to be back to in-person performances this season – and it is one of our busiest yet!
After a successful tour of Peter Rabbit Tales in Fall of 2022, we are now bringing one of our favorite ETC shows back to life – The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon. This is a new and improved version of Harold’s adventure, and we are looking forward to touring this classic during the month of March 2023.
Coming up!
We are pleased to announce the world premiere of our symphony production of Peer Gynt—based on Edvard Grieg’s famed score.
Landis, Jennifer and Zachary will all be appearing in this performance, along with some brilliant performers including Andrea Rose Cardoni, Ciera Gardner and Daniel Burgess. Rounding out our artistic team will be Leslie Reidel, Director; Charlie Gilbert, Musical Director; and David Russell, Designer. The first performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra is in February of 2023!
This Spring we will tour The Brave Little Tailor, our retelling of the classic tale, for our Enchantment Everywhere show! Performances will be throughout the Philadelphia region.
In the fall of 2023, we will bring our version of the famed children’s story – My Father’s Dragon – back to venues across the country. We are so excited to bring Ruth Stiles Gannett’s popular stories to life on stage for children and families once again.
Next up, we will workshop our new production of Mommy’s Khimar in collaboration with local Philadelphia author Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow. This new work will be added to our repertoire of Enchantment Everywhere shows, and will bring Jamilah’s book to life for students and families throughout Philadelphia.
We thank you for your support and we hope to see you at one of our many shows in the coming season!
