The Experts Theater Company
Are you searching for an artistic home?
Many theater artists know the secret sauce in developing their work: finding a theater company that believes in them and supports them, with other talented artists for inspration and encouragement along the way.
I created the Experts Theater Company (ETC) to be that place.
CreateTheater is the community. ETC is the place to get to work with other artists.
