Everett Dance Theatre
349 Hope Street
Providence, RI 02906

Founded by Artistic Director Dorothy Jungels in 1986, Everett Dance Theatre is a nationally known company, acclaimed for its innovative educational programs. In 1990, Everett renovated an old carriage house and expanded to become the Carriage House Stage and School. The company’s programming includes performance arts training for inner-city youth and a performance series that features local, regional and national companies. The company is beginning to formalize an organic mentoring process in which the group works long-term with young artists, supporting their development into working professionals. The Carriage House Stage plays a role by providing a venue for the young artists’ performance development and the opportunity for them to view works by a range of innovative artists.

Everett Dance Theatre and the Carriage House Stage and School have no formal selection/planning process. Performance groups that are selected tend to be primarily dance/dance theater groups; groups whose materials relate in some way with the inner-city community the company works with; and groups that staff and member artists have seen live and whose work they have respected. The performance series tends to run March through June, with selections made in the previous fall.
