JOIN US IN CELEBRATING

BETH EASTMAN

AND

ALEATHEA'S RESTAURANT

AT THE

SOUTH JERSEY

CULTURAL ALLIANCE GALA

ON THURSDAY, MAY 17

 

     Beth Eastman, president of The Inn of Cape May and Aleathea’s Restaurant will be ELTC's honoree on May 17 at the South Jersey Cultural Alliance's (SJCA) 17th Annual Encore Awards Dinner at the Landis Theater in Vineland. ELTC is a proud member of SJCA, and this event offers the opportunity for members to recognize those who graciously support arts organizations in eight South Jersey counties. This year, the Alliance's own 2012 Lillian Levy Standing Ovation Award will go to Steve Runk for his dedication and years of service as President of the New Jersey State Council for the Arts.

     Since 2008, Beth Eastman has supported ELTC’s annual fundraiser by providing the use of Aleathea’s, along with a three course meal, without charge, thus insuring a profit from these fundraising events.  She has graciously lent period furniture to dress ELTC’s sets and has helped to house ELTC designers and performers. Aleathea’s Restaurant partners with ELTC for patrons’ savings for dinner and a show. 

     The awards themselves are designed especially for this event by artists at Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center, and each is hand-made. 

     The Encore Awards will be held from 6:00 p.m.– 9:30 p.m. at the historic Landis Theater in downtown Vineland. Entertainment features the Ocean Professional Theatre Company, Harmony Choir from Mainstage Center for the Arts, Vineland Regional Dance Company, The Ritz Theatre Company and Bay Atlantic Symphony. It is an evening not to be missed, and black tie is optional.

     Tickets are $80 if purchased before April 27, and if you would like to join the award-winning East Lynne Theater Company, call us at 609-884-5898 or e-mail eastlynneco@aol.com.

 June 13-July 21 at 8:30 PM: RUTH DRAPER'S COMPANY OF CHARACTERS Before the solo shows of Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg, there was the originator of the "character monologue," Ruth Draper. Draper created witty and touching scenes filled with characters – from charwomen to divas.  ELTC is only the second production company - ever - to be allowed to produce these scenes since Draper.  Performers are Karen Case Cook and Suzanne Dawson (pictured) under the direction of Gayle Stahlhuth.   FIND OUT MORE
