Merry Christmas and thank you!

We both would like to thank everyone who has supported us this year and previously! Special thanks to Volksbühne am Rudolfplatz for such a wonderful theater to perform in, to Apiro Entertainment for your amazing support, for the AIWCC and the Cosmopolitan Ladies Club of Cologone for your show of support for etc. , to the Freundschaftskreis Tonbridge und Malling for coming to see the show from so far away, to all of our audience members who have come to our show and some not once, not twice, not three times but more! We love you! We hope we haven't forgotten anyone!

2024 had it's challenges but we met with various theaters in Cologne about performing there and we have a glimmer of hope that we might be able to do just that in 2025.🤞🤞🤞🤞

In January we will be continuing work on our first original play with a wonderful, young British author as well as possibly performing Bakersfield Mist in Duesseldorf sometime in 2025.

We will be taking a trip to London in 2025 as well as looking at some other plays to produce.

So even if you haven't heard much from us this year, we are cooking! And grateful to all of you for helping to keep us going all these years!

We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2025. We hope to see you!

With love and gratitude,

James and Kathleen

This is one of the clips from an interview we did last year about etc and BAKERSFIELD MIST. This clip talks about what the audience can take away from the show. Happy Watching!

Cologne's only resident professional English Theater Ensemble.

We have great news! We will be back on stage on Oct. 16 & 17 only at VOLKSBÜHNE AM RUDOLFPLATZ with our show, Bakersfield Mist by Stephen Sachs! We are very grateful to Volksbühne for their support and to Apiro Entertainment and AmerikaHaus NRW. We had a great run at HORIZONT THEATER in June for our Premier and then performances in Sept., Oct. and November, 2023.

This is a much larger theater so we really need people to come and see these performances. We've spent this year talking with theaters and VB opened up their arms to us and our little show.

You can scan the QR code for info and tickets. We will have a "Meet and Greet" in the bar / foyer afterwards with the audience.

If you haven't seen BAKERSFIELD MIST yet, we would love to see you. If you have, maybe you'd like to see it in this wonderful theater. Please tell your friends, and we hope to see you there. Thanks again to everyone that has supported us in any way since we started 4 years ago during COVID.

In case you have any difficulties with the QR code, here is a link:

Hello Everyone! We hope you are all healthy and well. We've been busy behind the scenes, in meetings, talking with theaters, Zooming, Skyping, getting things together for 2024. That's why you haven't heard anything from us.

We still have one more video clip from our interview in September, 2023. This one -clip 9, is about our educational program which we created during the pandemic - The English Writing Challenge. Have a look. And stay tuned for more info about what's cooking with etc-english theater cologne! We appreciate all of you!

With love,
