Prescott Circus Theatre provides no-cost, year round public school and community based programs for youth representing historically oppressed and marginalized communities (primarily low-income, Black and Children of Color) in partnership with professional artists, public schools, and other local organizations. Our culturally responsive programs apply standards based curriculum with youth development best practices to support students’ learning to perform their best on stage and in life. School programs take place at as many as seven Oakland public schools with complimentary weekly training for older youth and an annual summer circus arts and academic program. School programs serve students in general and special education classes with some exclusively for students with disabilities. The organization produces two free public productions each year in the spring and summer. The Prescott Circus Youth Performing Company performs and make appearances at over twenty events annually from civic parades to visits to senior centers.
