Inét Entertainment Corporation is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization whose mission is to instill family values, self esteem and empowerment in inner city and disadvantaged youth. We accomplish our mission through educationally enriching performing arts programs.
Jack’s World is a family musical that presents the story of Jack an elementary school student who runs away from home to escape the pressures he feels from his parents and siblings. Jack’s running away not only has a crippling effect on his immediate and extended family but also on his peers and schoolmates. All of whom come to realize Jack is crying out for help. Jack’s family, school, and community embark on a city-wide search and Jack is reunited with his family. Adults in Jack’s life share his story with his classmates as a way of encouraging them to have positive self-esteem and to build strong relationships with their families.
