Enrichment Works Information

Enrichment Works creates and presents professional theater to inspire learning. The nonprofit organization provides young people in Southern California with what is often their first experience of live theater, and does so in an interactive form at schools, libraries and other community venues. The organization was founded in 1999 by Broadway and television writer Abraham Tetenbaum to create quality plays and musicals that help kids connect emotionally to what they learn in school. The works are chosen from submissions by playwrights across the country that address state and national content standards for public schools and are performed by professional actors. Enrichment Works also offers classes and workshops in theater arts that are linked to their productions. Enrichment Works has produced over 55 original plays presented at more than 350 schools for more than 500,000 students.
