The Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga began as a whim in the imagination of Founder and Producing Artistic Director Garry Lee Posey. ETC's goals are simple: artists must be compensated and productions have to be artistically satisfying for both the artist and the audience. To that end, ETC is constantly searching for programming that will serve the participants, their craft, and our communities. As the resident theater company at St. Andrews, ETC now has its own space, allowing it an opportunity for growth. Says Director Posey, “We have exciting plans for the future and hope to continue to grow and contribute to the cultural landscape of our wonderful city.” For more information, go to www.ensembletheatreofchattanooga.com or call 423-987-5141 |
