WHAT WE DOWe mount artistically-thrilling live productions and present new shows that are both
approachable and affordable to the general public. As a small multi-disicplinary performing arts collective, we've sold out shows ranging from re-imagined classics to cutting-edge original work, earning the LA Times "Top Pick" and LA Weekly's "Pick of the Week." With six Ovation nominations in the last two seasons--including the 2012 Ovation Award for Best Score for a New Musical--we are anything but your average "community theatre." We're professional theatre for the community… all of it. For those who can't come to us, our outreach programs come to them. Through our Youth Community Tour, we've created shows to bring to retirement homes, cancer patients and emotionally disturbed children. 4. With our "Cradle to Stage" Strategy, we're committed to providing an artistic haven for our extraordinarily talented professional company, where they can create, perform, refine their craft, and reach out to audiences across the county. We embrace traditional theatre while also looking beyond it for opportunities for artistic expression. |

WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2000 by Narcissa Vanderlip and Parmer Fuller, ETC started in youth theatre and has blossomed into a professional company. Since our beginnings in Shakespeare and musical productions, we have evolved to produce original, critically-acclaimed shows that explore movement, dance and even web media as effective means of expression, while still reserving deference for traditional theatre. In our shows, our community outreach and most everything we do, we value personal connection and operate as an artistic family.
ETC is always welcoming new artists and energy to our team,
while seeing veteran members off on new career adventures.
