Off the Circuit
What is Off the Circuit?
The Off the Circuit Performance Ensemble or Off the Circuit is the African Continuum Theatre Company’s
extended presence that performs at corporations, schools, community events, social organizations, church groups, and senior
centers in the Washington metropolitan area.
Why did African Continuum create Off the Circuit?
Off the Circuit was formed to
reach out to our patrons. We want to use Off the Circuit to engage and expose the community to a live theatre
performance, stimulate audience development, and to raise the general awareness of the African Continuum Theatre and
the quality of our work.
What does Off the Circuit do?
It provides fun, educational, insightful, and provocative
live entertainment that highlights the African American experience and culture. We do this by:
1. Performing abbreviated
scenes from a number of our productions. The themes and scenes are tailored to your specific needs and goals.
2. Pre-performance
workshops designed to help make the theater-going experience more enjoyable. Participants examine the characters, themes, story, plot
and text of the play and learn about the various employment opportunities of theater and proper deportment and theater
etiquette.
Where has Off the Circuit Performed?
We have performed for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Delta
Towers, and Strive DC to name a few.
