Express Children’s Theatre is Houston’s oldest and largest performing and arts education organization dedicated specifically to children and families. We are celebrating our 19th Season of creating and presenting professional, culturally diverse performing arts designed to entertain and educate."
Season: The season shows are performed by adults.
Classes: Express does offer Saturday Workshops, but not classes on a large scale. A program called "Theatre from the Core" is offered after school where children use other subjects, such as math and geography, to research and create their own play to perform. Express works inconjunciton with schools to design 6 week cycles of programs to be intergrated into curriculum. Express also facilitates Artists Resdencies where master classes are held for training students, faculty, and professionals in various apsects of theatre.
Summer Camps: Express offers 2 three week summer sessions in which the whole session is dedicated to a variety of theatre techniques rather than a focus on one. At the end of each session there is a showcase.
Finance: Express does not offer financial backing in great detail, but I assume it is through ticket sales, donations, and fees of services.
Extra Notes:
-Express is dedicated to inclusion. There are at least 2 productions which are bilingual, and Express has been able to have shadowed performances for the hard of hearing and deaf.
