Educational Theatre Programs
For more than 25 years, Kaiser Permanente has brought health education to our communities through our Educational Theatre Programs (ETP). What started as a single play for elementary school children in 1985 has become a series of award-winning theatrical productions, skill-building workshops, and youth engagement programs designed to meet the unique health needs of the communities we serve. Kaiser Permanente has assembled an ethnically-diverse group of professional actors, who also serve as skilled workshop facilitators, health educators and role models to the people they meet every day. Through theatre, Kaiser Permanente seeks to measurably improve the health of our communities and deliver health education in innovative ways.
In Southern Colorado, ETP provides programming in the following ways:
- Pueblo's Sangre de Cristo Arts Center provides a local production of The Amazing Food Detective to Pueblo and surrounding Southern Colorado with performances offered at the Arts Center and with limited touring performances.
- Care Equity Project workshops, focusing on the needs of people with limited financial resources and their healthcare experience, are offered to safety net clinics in Pueblo and Colorado Springs.
- Laughaceuticals - Laughter as Wellness workshops are provided to work teams, teacher staffs and senior care groups in Colorado Springs.
