What is CET?

CET is an immersive experience, an inclusive and dynamic five-week program where anyone can step outside a traditional school construct and interact with positivity and collaboration. “This program is not about turning someone into an actor,” said founder Phyllis Quanbeck. “It’s about helping kids to find their own talent and about cultivating creative, innovative team players.” Students involved in CET have the exciting opportunity to participate in three classes everyday, which may include acting, music, dance, technical theatre, stage combat, improvisation, and more. 2023 course descriptions can be found here if you’d like an idea of what we offer. Students enrolled in our performance program are cast in one of our productions – everyone gets a role! Students enrolled in our technical arts program work behind the scenes to make the productions happen. This includes working on lighting, stage management, prop making, and more. CET’s success is based on everyone’s commitment to the program.
