The In‑School Arts Program
Exposes the students to the arts, helping them become more creative and critical thinkers, and effective communicators, while building confidence and self-esteem by developing their own voices
Music. Drama.
Arts. Dance.
After-School Programs provide basic instruction in a variety of dance styles to students with little or no formal dance training, in facilities outside the HPSD dance studios. Priority is given to serving Chicago public elementary schools and community organizations, and the target age group for these classes is 4-13. After-school programs are available at a modest cost, which is shared between HPSD, the sponsoring school/organization, and parents. The programs provide students focused study of a specific dance style (ballet, modern, jazz,African) as well astraining in the language and history of dance, improvisation, and basic choreography. Programs are tailored to the specific needs of the sponsoring organization.
Our Mission
The Edutainment Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to make culturally-focused arts programs and positive after-school activities, equitably accessible to students from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Our programs are offered to further expose students to the arts, helping them become more creative and critical thinkers, more effective communicators, and more well-rounded people.
What We Do
The Edutainment Project primarily targets schools in communities that offer little, if any, arts programming to their students. The Edutainment Project’s workshops and summer arts camps provide after-school options for students to channel their creative energies, and all interested students, regardless of means, will have access to our programs. In addition, all schools, including non-target schools, will be able to access The Edutainment Project’s in-school programs and have their students participate in The Edutainment Project’s after-school activities.

In their words
F.C.B.C. to me has become more than just the drama club from school. F.C.B.C. has shown and taught me so much about who I am as an artist and as a person. I cannot begin to explain the love and the passion that fuels every show and practice we have. After 4 years of working with F.C.B.C. I have learned that artistry fills voids in life that others will try to tear down, but as long as you stay true to who you are and have a good relationship with the creator, everything will work itself out.
Thank you.
