The Princesses can't stop dancing, and the Fisherman keeps asking favors from a Magic Fish. It's all part of the fun in two one-acts based on The Grimm Brothers' Collection: 'The Dancing Princesses' and '"The Fisherman and His Wife.'

For two afternoons a week, almost weekly, throughout the whole school year, ELTC's artists-in-residence meet with two after-school workshops. Group sizes vary between ten to twenty students, and topics cover improvisation, movement, and working with scripts.
