Breaking Cycles
Of Hurt

About Us:

Circles of Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in New Jersey, established in 2013.  Dedicated to supporting nonviolent initiatives, we use the power of performance and community engagement to inspire change and healing.  Guided by our motto, "Breaking Cycles Of Hurt & Creating Circles Of Hope," we continue to build meaningful experiences that connect, uplift, and transform.

Over the years Circles Of Hope has presented a range of original theatrical productions that have

impacted thousands of individuals across New Jersey-from Newark to West Caldwell.  Our work brings attention to issues that matter, fosters dialogue, and empowers communities to grow beyond trauma and adversity.
