Since 2001, The Prescott Circus Theatre has been providing after-school Circus Arts programs for upper grade students at as many as seven additional Oakland Schools. Students of our Satellite outreach programs work with professional resident teaching artists plus visiting guest artists to learn circus and performing skills. The curriculum includes circus skill building, stage presence, act development, and performance production. Each group presents a culminating show for families and friends and an assembly for their school community. Participants also have opportunities to make appearances at school functions and community events. Students who complete the program are invited to participate in our free 5-week summer program and our Saturday advance training programs.
