Lee O'Connor (Feb. 19, 1948 - March 21, 2021) had been the technical director and stage manager for East Lynne Theater Company since 1999, the same time his wife, Gayle Stahlhuth, became artistic director. He was diagnosed with cancer in October 2019, and had a few very good months in which it looked like he'd beaten the disease. The memorial service will be live-streamed, available for everyone to watch, on Saturday, April 10 at 1:00 PM. There will be a bigger event planned when we can once more gather together safely.

On May 26, 2020, Actors Equity Association (AEA), the union for actors and stage managers, announced that no AEA member may be on a stage until it is safe to do so.  We agree with this ruling.  Our previously scheduled shows for June through August, 2020 are now part of our 2021 Season.  We were hoping to produce Nothing Matters in front of a live audience in the fall, 2020, but with an AEA contract, we filmed it. We will be opening our 2021 outdoors in June, hoping to be inside beginning in the fall. Season Tickets purchased in 2020, can be used in 2021 and 2022.

Art & Health in the Time of COVID
Back in April, 2020, ArtPride NJ asked arts organizations throughout NJ to share their videos - and ELTC did. ELTC's Gayle Stahlhuth and Lee O'Connor can be seen briefly. Thank you, James Rana for helping out as camera operator. We are honored to part of this video - thank you ArtPride NJ!
