With support from the California Arts Council ENRICHMENT WORKS will work with Al Landegger of the Landegger Baron Law Group to gain a clear understanding of California’s employment laws, specifically with an eye toward moving from our current practice of hiring artists as independent contractors to hiring them as employees. At the conclusion of the project Enrichment Works staff will have the procedures and resources to ensure that the organization is in compliance with all applicable laws.
Enrichment Works creates theater pieces about topics that youth are learning about in school (mythology, historical figures, fables) and topics that are relevant to young people (nutrition and health, financial literacy.) The organization integrates theater arts with these important subjects to help students connect emotionally to the topics they are required to learn. Enrichment Works has produced over 55 original plays based on the Content Standards for California Public Schools. The plays and musicals have been presented at over 500 schools for more than 550,000 students.
