Educational Theater Program

Providing a community benefit, Kaiser Permanente offers productions and workshops free of charge to eligible schools and community groups through our Educational Theatre Program. Educational Theatre Programs (ETP) use live theatre, music, comedy and drama to inspire children, teens and adults to make healthier choices and better decisions about their well-being.

ETP's live, interactive performances capture students' attention while creating an emotional connection that makes the show's health issues real to them. ETP has six basic productions, each addressing different topics. "Zip's Great Day" discusses nutrition, exercise, and conflict resolution; "Peace Signs" talks about violence prevention; "Nightmare on Puberty Street" touches on peer pressure and early adolescence; and "Secrets" is about HIV/AIDS/STD prevention; “The Best Me” is about healthy eating, active living for students in grades 3-5; and “Community Troop” can do mini-versions of the shows and help with specific events like conferences. To inquire about booking a performance for a local school, go to www.kp.org/etp or call (510) 987-2223.
