Under the direction of Christopher Parks, the Experiential Theater Company is devoted to developing and producing theater for young audiences. While at the McCarter Theatre Center, Parks and some associates pioneered the interactive style which has become our namesake. Youth and family audiences typically come to the theater expecting to see a play, but what they find out in the audeicne of many of our shows is that they are there to be in a play. They are co-creators and collaborators who sing, dance, and act alongside professional performers. We endeavor to create a safe environment where everyone is at liberty to participate as much or as little as they feel comfortable doing. No rehearsal required!

Experiential Theater Company tours nationwide, as well as to the United Kingdom and Ireland. The content of our productions is intended to be both entertaining and educational, featuring evocative and thought-provoking storytelling. When the audience enters the theater they are transported into a different world guided by our actors and our production team's vision. While in that world they are invited often to participate as co-creators of a unique artistic performance that will never be quite the same as any other performed.
