Robert Kelley, longtime Artistic Director of TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, will make his ETC debut with The Complete Jane Austen, Abridged.
Pesha Rudnick, Artistic Director of Local Theatre Company in Boulder, Colorado, will direct The Shark Is Broken. Her production marks the beginning of a new collaboration between UCSB and Ensemble Theatre Company.
Brian McDonald, who directed ETC’s highest-grossing production, Million Dollar Quartet, will co-direct A Night With Janis Joplin alongside Tony Award nominee Mary Bridget Davies.
