ETC Announces Second Full Season: Sin and Redemption

On the heels of their first full theatrical season, featuring the smash success of Eclectic Theater Company’s Hamlet, the West Coast premiere of all-new material in Eric Bogosian’s SubUrbia, the re-miere of Matt and Ben, and the World Premiere of Jonathan Shock’s new play, The Shaft, ETC is proud to announce the lineup for their second full season at the Odd Duck Studio.

ETC’s second full season will feature 5 mainstage productions, each one at least a Northwest Premiere! The season will feature one world premiere, two new adaptations, and two Northwest Premieres.

The season starts off with Rosemary Poole-Carter’s moody The Little Death. Set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War South, The Little Death explores the standards of morality and feminism in a historic context that illuminates the ideals and morality of today. The Little Death is a West Coast premiere, and will run from October to November.

Next, ETC presents Henrik Ibsen’s classic tale of deception and family values, Ghosts, in conjunction with National AIDS Awareness Month. An all-new adaptation of a play that is more than 100 years old, yet still timely, examining sexuality, morality, and the consequences of our decisions. Look for it in December.

In February ETC proudly presents an all-new adaptation from the original language of Georg Buechner’s classic play of psychology and pathology, Woyzeck. Journey into the mind of a madman as we struggle to understand what drives a human being to take another life, based on a true story from almost 150 years ago!

During Lent and leading up to the Easter holiday, Eclectic will present an all-new play, The Davidson Affair, adapted from the novel by Stuart Jackman. Take a trip to the middle east a news correspondent as he investigates the execution and alleged resurrection of one Jesus Davidson. Is it a conspiracy cooked up by his followers? A lie to give the dead man credibility? Or something far more fantastic? Find out in this retelling of a classic holiday tale.

Finally, warm up for baseball season with the Northwest Premiere of And Somewhere Men Are Laughing, a story of loyalty, family, and baseball set against the backdrop of Brooklyn in 1955, as the Dodgers struggle to realize their hopes for winning it all in the last summer of 1955.

As always, you can also expect lots of exciting late night performances from our comedy partners, including Bumbershoot-featured performers Blood Squad, acting out a completely improvised teen slasher movie on stage every Friday night, and short form improv from Seattle Improv Festival prize winners Quiet Monkey Fight!
