July 25-Sept. 1 at 8:30 PM: THE POE MYSTERIES, a World Premiere, adapted by James Rana. C. Auguste Dupin is a recluse in Paris, avoiding people and payment of his bills, when an American journalist comes to interview him.  As the world's greatest detective recalls his cases, the characters spring to life on stage.  Six talented actors play more than 50 characters in Poe's famous mysteries.  FIND OUT MORE

 

Sept. 19-Oct. 13 at 8:00: It Pays to Advertise by Roi Cooper Mergue and Walter C. Hackett was a hit when it opened on Broadway in September of 1914, and the Metropolitan Playhouse in NYC had a great success with its 2009 production.  This screwball comedy was twice made into a movie: a silent in 1919, and in 1931 with Carole Lombard. The premise – and promise – that anything can be sold in America is at its core, but it also examines the very nature and romance of advertising and its influence.  All it takes is one adventurous young man to announce, “Advertising is responsible for everything!” and he and his two friends are off and running in this delightfully sly farce, with a cast of 10.  

Nov. 2 and 3 at 8:00: Sherlock Holmes Adventure of the Norwood Builder

Nov. 23, 24, Dec. 2, 7, 8, 9, and 14 at 8:00, and a special 2:00 matinee on Sat. Dec. 8: Louisa May Alcott’s ChristmasThree of Alcott’s tales, including the opening of Little Women are beautifully brought to life in storytelling fashion by Gayle Stahlhuth.  A holiday treat for the whole family.

In October 2009, ELTC was selected by its peers to receive the ACHIEVEMENT OF EXCELLENCE AWARD at New Jersey Theatre Alliance's annual Applause Award gala, honoring ELTC for "30 years of celebrating America’s heritage through productions and educational programs.”
