ENOCH CITY ARTS- Inspiring our community through the performing arts!

WHY THEATER? Because there’s no better way to captivate, illuminate, and explain the human heart than through a well-told story illustrated by acting and song.  That's why theater has continued for millennia: IT WORKS!

WHY ENOCH CITY ARTS?  Because we welcome all our Kitsap County neighbors to our East Bremerton location.  We choose uplifting and thoughtful works that intrigue adults and are still appropriate for children.  Together, in the dark of our theater, our audiences share emotions and understanding, and when the curtain comes down, they leave with fresh ideas as well as big smiles.

WHAT DO WE DO?  In addition to the plays or musicals of our theatrical season, we offer acting and singing classes for both adults and kids; they can improve their skills and feel confident about getting up on stage.  Our after school and summer camp drama classes improve kids' self-esteem and public speaking skills as they get applause from their families and friends.  In our music classes, people grow as they have fun raising their voices together in song.  And we do it with an all-volunteer staff! On the stage or behind the curtains, we depend on each other and thereby create a community of friendship and belonging. 

WHY HELP US?  Because we want to bring all the benefits of live community theater to YOU... (while paying our bills.)  We give you a safe, comfortable and friendly black-box theater to see our shows.  We license the popular and recent plays and musicals to bring you the most thoughtful and inspiring family entertainment.  We offer you caring, supportive and affordable classes to help you experience the joys of performing for yourself.  Help us give you the magic of the theater

WHY NOW?  Because we're growing!  We're looking to rent a space that's twice the size of our current 40 person theater.  More seats mean more ticket sales but we must fix the space to make it a theater.  We'll need lighting, curtains (lots of curtains), black ceiling paint (it's a theater thing), risers, a lobby... it goes on.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?  Your cash donation makes a big difference for the people we serve!  And there are in-kind opportunities, as well- see the Needs section of this page.  You can volunteer; we have many opportunities for all types of skills.  Help us set up the new theater space!  Become part of a team that’s staging a production, use your creative talents for posters and web design, greet audiences in the lobby, tell the community about Enoch City Arts.  Ask us; we can find a place for you at Enoch City Arts.   And however you help, you know you are continuing the human tradition of presenting stories and songs to uplift your community.  We hope you will make a gift today!

Mission

Enoch City Arts inspires the community through fine and performing arts. We produce and promote uplifting entertainment and fine arts learning opportunities for the benefit of our audiences, students, and artists. This includes production and exhibition of drama, music, dance, visual, literary, and other art, as well as classes related to the development of these skills.

Needs

As an active space for community involvement in the performing arts, we have the following needs:

> Help setting up a brand new theater space to grow into! Can be construction-related labor or in-kind donations of building materials.

> Hospitality items and paper products for our facilities- It’s not bright stage and bright lights glamour, but we really appreciate it!

> Installation of 220 electrical service for a clothes dryer- To keep the costumes fresh and ready for play!

> Volunteers for all aspects of running a theater- house management, stage management, publicity & marketing, you name it, we need help!
