Electric Theatre Company

The Electric Theatre Company (ETC), formerly The Northeast Theatre, is a professional theatre company offering dynamic live productions of both new and established work year-round at its performance space located on the second floor of the old Hotel Jermyn, 326 Spruce St., Scranton.

ETC is committed to forging creative bonds between Scranton-area artists and other artists from around the country by providing opportunities for them to work creatively together and to learn from one another in classes and seminars.

ETC’s educational and outreach efforts include: The Portal Project, an educational and professional collaboration between ETC and Marywood University designed to enhance the acting program at Marywood; The Conservatory, a 19-week residency designed for early and mid career actors with a serious interest in entering or advancing in the profession; and In Bocca al Lupo, a study abroad program that blends the ancient theatrical traditions of commedia dell'arte, and Italian language and culture, in a vibrant four-week intensive that culminates in two improvised performances, in Italian.

ETC plays a significant role in the revitalization of Downtown Scranton by offering frequent and regular performances in theatre and music, by reflecting local heritage through its choice of plays, and by encouraging pride in the area’s identity.
