WHAT IS THE EMPIRE THEATRE COMPANY?
The Empire Theatre Company (ETC) is a professional theatre company in North Dakota, producing a full season of productions. Founded in 2012, our goal is to develop and grow new audiences for theatre with the creation of excellent plays and musicals, particularly works that have never or rarely been produced in North Dakota.
ETC contracts with local, regional, and nationally-based professional actors to produce a season of four or more full-length productions each season. Our season runs from August through May each year. ETC is the resident theatre company of the historic Empire Arts Center, where all productions take place.
FOURTEEN SEASONS UNDER OUR BELT
The Empire Theatre Company has been producing contemporary plays and musicals featuring professional actors, directors, and other theatre artists since 2012 with its inaugural production of the musical Xanadu. Now entering our 15th season, we are proud to have paid over 400 professional actors and theatre artists, as well seeing exponential audience growth.
