On October 22, 2006, ETAP was presented a special achievement award by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in recognition of the multiple invitations it has received to perform in China. ETAP’s performers were proud to represent the U.S. and received accolades from their Chinese hosts. ETAP participated in the 2002 and 2006 International Cultural Festivals, and brought a full scale production of Jolly Follies Holidays to venues throughout China during the 2004-05 Holiday Season. The arts go a long way towards bridging cultural differences between countries and ETAP is proud of to be involved in the endeavor to form international friendships.
