East Lynne Theater Company to Host Q&A Following HUCKLEBERRY FINN, 8/28
by Tyler Peterson - Aug 18, 2015
What's it like to work in professional theater? How do actors prepare for their roles? Ever wonder how and why a theater company selects its plays? You mean, a world premiere is actually a play that has never, ever been performed anywhere else? How does that happen?
East Lynne to Stage HUCKLEBERRY FINN
by Tyler Peterson - Jul 14, 2015
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," is considered to be one of America's greatest books by today's scholars, and James Rana's world premiere adaptation beautifully captures the humor and heartache in this tale of a boy running away from an abusive father and a slave running away for fear of being sold to a plantation further south.

East Lynne Theater Company presents the world premiere ZORRO!
by Matt Tamanini - Jul 8, 2014
The award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company's next production is a swashbuckler: the world premiere of 'Zorro!' based on Johnston McCulley's 'The Curse of Capistrano' (1919) adapted by James Rana. Spanish for 'fox,' Zorro fought the oppressive colonial government in Spanish California with a quick sword and wit. Wearing a mask, he kept his identity secret, even to the woman he loved. In 1939, Bob Kane and Bill Finger gave credit to McCulley's masked avenger, with his dual identity, as their inspiration for 'Batman.' Like Bruce Wayne and Batman, Don Diego and Zorro are never seen together at the same time.
