The Eau Claire Children's Theatre (ECCT) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven community theatre providing quality theatrical and educational experiences for western Wisconsin residents of all ages.
Since its founding in 1989, the primary objective of the ECCT has been to provide experiences -- as cast, crew and audience members -- for children and their families. The ECCT is truly one of the fixtures in our community that makes the Chippewa Valley a great place to live and raise a family.
No one would deny that participation in the arts through theatre allows children the chance to express themselves in an enriching, enjoyable and creative way. However, the ECCT feels children's participation in theatre does much more for children and their mental and physical development.
As participants in theatre, children begin to realize a positive self-concept and a new, unique understanding of others. Theatre challenges our children to respond to the world and to look beyond themselves to see the connectedness of human society, fostering a greater understanding of other cultures, their histories, symbols, values and beliefs
As participants in arts organizations like the ECCT, children most often find that the arts help them enhance their academic skills and performance. Drawing helps writing. Song and poetry make facts more memorable. Drama makes history more vivid and real. Creative movement and dance makes processes more understandable. The arts can be a creative vehicle to help children socially and academically and always have a significant impact upon those children whose lives can be reached by the arts.
Based on the hit Disney movie, in New York City at the turn of the century, Jack Kelly is the charismatic leader of a band of "newsies."
When the titans of publishing raise distribution prices, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to fight for what's right.
Filled with memorable songs, incredible dancing, and endless fun, come see this family-friendly story of perseverance live on stage at The Pablo Center RCU Theater June 13-15!
