East Lynne Theater Company

The nonprofit Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company was founded in 1980 by Warren Kliewer. At the time, there was no theater company in the United States dedicated to American Stage Classics. Mr. Kliewer saw the need to change this, by creating a company where theater-goers, actors, and directors, alike, could experience entertaining and provocative plays by American masters such as Washington Irving, Rachel Crothers, and Eugene O’Neill. Many of the company's productions have not been produced for over fifty years, and in some cases, almost ninety. Still, the topics, characters, and situations, are relevant to today.
