When patrons experience ELTC productions, they witness the company's engaging perspective on American theater and its unique contribution to the world of theater. 

Supporting the actors on stage, is a group of administrative, technical, and artistic people. And behind them is a group of individuals and businesses who support the company. Without the collaboration of all of these groups and individuals- there would be no show.   

Your applause is not only for the actors but for all the other collaborators as well. It is only by this means that East Lynne is able to keep ticket prices reasonable and maintain artistic quality.
