Organized in 1955, the ESI has provided a wide variety of live, quality entertainment to the Irving community. We envision offering a superior level of programming which both entertains and expands the musical horizons of our patrons. ESI envisions extending its programs to local schools by offering to students workshop experiences conducted by individual arts and performing groups as a way to educate and encourage the "future patrons" of the arts. Concert selections are often based on their availability and cost of student outreach programs. We are staffed by an all volunteer organization. Always considering the value of introducing the youth to live musical productions, we offer deep discounts for students as well as family groups to attend our season programs.
We are investing in young performers from the North Texas area through Irving Youth Theatre. The donations here are also used to give young people the experience of creating live theatre productions.
ESI seeks sponsorship for outreach programs to schools in person or virtually as well as support for the students to additionally attend the evening performances.
The Entertainment Series of Irving (ESI) is dedicated to providing the citizens of Irving, Texas, and the surrounding area with the opportunity to experience high quality, live entertainment in the form of stage shows, concerts and recitals.
