Inspector Lestrade is convinced that a young lawyer committed murder. But did he, or is he being set up and if so - why? Another adventure for Holmes and Watson!    June 12 – July 20 at 8:00: Lost on the Natchez Trace by Jan Buttram (NJ Premiere; premiered at Abingdon Theatre Company in NYC in 2012) The year is 1825 and slave auctioneer Malcolm Jeters is headed home when he falls from his mule in Mississippi's Natchez Trace.  Injured and starving, he yells for help.  The only one who appears, is a runaway slave.  The question is, who will save whom in this compelling new play.   July 24-Aug. 31 at 8:00:  The Legend of Sleepy Hollow adapted by James Rana from the story by Washington Irving. (World Premiere)  When Ichabod Crane comes to town to be the new schoolmaster, he quickly learns about the many ghosts who haunt the area.  None are as frightening as The Headless Horseman.  No one dares to say the name lest he rise up to terrorize the people of Tarrytown. Like James Rana’s The Poe Mysteries that premiered last season at East Lynne Theater Company and Ocean Professional Theatre Company, a cast of six play several roles to bring this haunting classic to life. (The show travels to Ocean Professional Theatre Company in Barnegat from Oct. 23-27.)   Sept. 18 – Oct. 13 at 8:00 (No show on Wed. Oct. 9; added show on Sun. Oct. 13 at 7:30): The Late Christopher Bean  After his death, Bean is heralded as “not merely a great American artist, but one of the greatest masters of all time,” and the art world now wants his work. But did a New England family destroy his paintings, misplace them, or hide them?  A 1932 Broadway hit written by Pulitzer-prize winner Sidney Howard, with a cast of nine. “It’s a play that has remained fresh and funny, proving once again that a strong script is rarely tarnished by time.” - Ken Jaworowski, “New York Times” (2009)     Nov. 1 and 2 at 8:00: Holmes and Carter Mysteries  ELTC’s popular vintage-radio style production, complete with live sound effects and commercials, with two great detectives! Sherlock Holmes Adventure of the Copper Beeches about a governess in peril, and Nick Carter and the Strange Dr. Devolo, in which Manhattan millionaires are missing.

July 4; added show on Sunday July 7) (NJ Premiere): LOST ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE  The year is 1825 and slave auctioneer Malcolm Jeters is headed home when he falls from his mule in Mississippi's Natchez Trace during a violent storm. Injured and starving, he yells for help. The only one who appears is a runaway slave. The question is, who will save whom? Written by Jan Buttram, co-founder and artistic director of Abingdon Theatre Company in NYC, the play was first produced at Abingdon in 2012. After seeing it, ELTC's artistic director, Gayle Stahlhuth, asked Jan if she would like to make further changes to the script and have another theatrical run. Jan jumped at the chance, and here it is! The Natchez Trace is a historical path that extends roughly 440 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee, linking the Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers.  Today tourists enjoy driving along scenic Natchez Trace Parkway where they can go horseback riding, camping and hiking. In 1825, however, the Natchez Trace was no vacation paradise. It was a swamp tangled with vines, animal bones and rotted trees.  A Sample of the Reviews from Abingdon Theatre Company’s 2012 Production: “Buttram gives her characters a moving humanity, and "Lost on the Natchez Trace" is a cautionary reminder of the inhumanity of which man has been and still is capable.” – Ron Cohen at “Back Stage” “A powerful, carefully-crafted play igniting a debate on what it takes to be a moral person and how far we would go for those values.” – “Curtain Up” “Powerful and illuminating theater. . . .Talented playwright Jan Buttram has created a richly textured encounter epitomizing the immorality and searing particulars of (American) slavery on a human scale. There’s no pedantry here, no pontificating. This bold entertainment illuminates. It sends us into the night reflecting on modern examples of justifying self preservation, biblical (not religious) responsibility, and the question of good and evil . . . The play is masterfully structured and filled with crosscurrents, surprising us to the very end. . . It’s a gothic dance—either with the devil or redemption depending on your point of view.” – Alix Cohen for “Women Around Town”  Wed.

July 4; added show on Sunday July 7) (NJ Premiere): LOST ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE  The year is 1825 and slave auctioneer Malcolm Jeters is headed home when he falls from his mule in Mississippi's Natchez Trace during a violent storm. Injured and starving, he yells for help. The only one who appears is a runaway slave. The question is, who will save whom? Written by Jan Buttram, co-founder and artistic director of Abingdon Theatre Company in NYC, the play was first produced at Abingdon in 2012. After seeing it, ELTC's artistic director, Gayle Stahlhuth, asked Jan if she would like to make further changes to the script and have another theatrical run. Jan jumped at the chance, and here it is! The Natchez Trace is a historical path that extends roughly 440 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee, linking the Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers.  Today tourists enjoy driving along scenic Natchez Trace Parkway where they can go horseback riding, camping and hiking. In 1825, however, the Natchez Trace was no vacation paradise. It was a swamp tangled with vines, animal bones and rotted trees.  A Sample of the Reviews from Abingdon Theatre Company’s 2012 Production: “Buttram gives her characters a moving humanity, and "Lost on the Natchez Trace" is a cautionary reminder of the inhumanity of which man has been and still is capable.” – Ron Cohen at “Back Stage” “A powerful, carefully-crafted play igniting a debate on what it takes to be a moral person and how far we would go for those values.” – “Curtain Up” “Powerful and illuminating theater. . . .Talented playwright Jan Buttram has created a richly textured encounter epitomizing the immorality and searing particulars of (American) slavery on a human scale. There’s no pedantry here, no pontificating. This bold entertainment illuminates.

LOST ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE2013-07-17T20:30:00-04:002013-07-17T22:00:00-04:00June 12 -  July 20 at 8:30 (no show on Thurs. July 4; added show on Sunday July 7) (NJ Premiere): LOST ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE  The year is 1825 and slave auctioneer Malcolm Jeters is headed home when he falls from his mule in Mississippi's Natchez Trace during a violent storm. Injured and starving, he yells for help. The only one who appears is a runaway slave. The question is, who will save whom? Written by Jan Buttram, co-founder and artistic director of Abingdon Theatre Company in NYC, the play was first produced at Abingdon in 2012. After seeing it, ELTC's artistic director, Gayle Stahlhuth, asked Jan if she would like to make further changes to the script and have another theatrical run. Jan jumped at the chance, and here it is! The Natchez Trace is a historical path that extends roughly 440 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee, linking the Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers.  Today tourists enjoy driving along scenic Natchez Trace Parkway where they can go horseback riding, camping and hiking. In 1825, however, the Natchez Trace was no vacation paradise. It was a swamp tangled with vines, animal bones and rotted trees.  A Sample of the Reviews from Abingdon Theatre Company’s 2012 Production: “Buttram gives her characters a moving humanity, and "Lost on the Natchez Trace" is a cautionary reminder of the inhumanity of which man has been and still is capable.” – Ron Cohen at “Back Stage” “A powerful, carefully-crafted play igniting a debate on what it takes to be a moral person and how far we would go for those values.” – “Curtain Up” “Powerful and illuminating theater. . . .Talented playwright Jan Buttram has created a richly textured encounter epitomizing the immorality and searing particulars of (American) slavery on a human scale. There’s no pedantry here, no pontificating. This bold entertainment illuminates. It sends us into the night reflecting on modern examples of justifying self preservation, biblical (not religious) responsibility, and the question of good and evil . . . The play is masterfully structured and filled with crosscurrents, surprising us to the very end. . .

LOST ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE

June 12 -  July 20 at 8:30 (no show on Thurs. July 4; added show on Sunday July 7) (NJ Premiere): LOST ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE  The year is 1825 and slave auctioneer Malcolm Jeters is headed home when he falls from his mule in Mississippi's Natchez Trace during a violent storm. Injured and starving, he yells for help. The only one who appears is a runaway slave. The question is, who will save whom? Written by Jan Buttram, co-founder and artistic director of Abingdon Theatre Company in NYC, the play was first produced at Abingdon in 2012. After seeing it, ELTC's artistic director, Gayle Stahlhuth, asked Jan if she would like to make further changes to the script and have another theatrical run. Jan jumped at the chance, and here it is! The Natchez Trace is a historical path that extends roughly 440 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee, linking the Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers.  Today tourists enjoy driving along scenic Natchez Trace Parkway where they can go horseback riding, camping and hiking. In 1825, however, the Natchez Trace was no vacation paradise. It was a swamp tangled with vines, animal bones and rotted trees.  A Sample of the Reviews from Abingdon Theatre Company’s 2012 Production: “Buttram gives her characters a moving humanity, and "Lost on the Natchez Trace" is a cautionary reminder of the inhumanity of which man has been and still is capable.” – Ron Cohen at “Back Stage” “A powerful, carefully-crafted play igniting a debate on what it takes to be a moral person and how far we would go for those values.” – “Curtain Up” “Powerful and illuminating theater. . . .Talented playwright Jan Buttram has created a richly textured encounter epitomizing the immorality and searing particulars of (American) slavery on a human scale. There’s no pedantry here, no pontificating. This bold entertainment illuminates. It sends us into the night reflecting on modern examples of justifying self preservation, biblical (not religious) responsibility, and the question of good and evil . . . The play is masterfully structured and filled with crosscurrents, surprising us to the very end. . . It’s a gothic dance—either with the devil or redemption depending on your point of view.” – Alix Cohen for “Women Around Town”  Wed.

THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW

July 24 - Aug. 31at 8:30:  THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW (World Premiere)  The townsfolk of Sleepy Hollow believe that the headless body of a Hessian soldier astride his horse haunts their isolated village.  When Ichabod Crane suddenly disappears, is it the fault of the Headless Horseman, or something else?  Washington Irving’s supernatural story is adapted by James Rana who so vividly created ELTC’s last season’s The Poe Mysteries, with a cast of six playing many roles to bring the tale to life. (From Oct. 23-27, the production goes to the 600-seat Ocean Professional Theatre in Barnegat.)Wed.
