Since 1994, The Elite Theatre Company (ETC), brings together the local talents of amateurs and professionals who share a passion for theater and who generously volunteer their time on the stage and behind the scenes. This artistic collaboration produces a season that begins in January with our One-Act Festival, a showcase of the winning plays selected from submissions to our Annual One-Act Play Co
mpetition. ETC is proud to give new playwrights this unique opportunity to have their unpublished plays produced on our stage. ETC also hosts free staged readings, where new playwrights preview their works for audiences who provide invaluable feedback. Our complete season includes 5 main stage productions, youth shows, classes and workshops and special one night only events. The Elite Theatre Company is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization as well as a proud member of the Four Star Theater Awards Committee, and the alliance of Ventura County Theaters. The Elite Theatre Company, in consultation with other theatrical companies and performance venues in southern California, is adjusting its precautionary policies regarding the ongoing pandemic. To gain entrance to the theatre, all artists, audiences, and staff are required to present a photo ID plus proof of vaccination and booster against COVID-19 or an officially administered negative COVID-19 test (taken within the previous 72 hours). Audience members may choose whether to wear masks; all volunteer staff and crew at The Elite Theatre will continue to wear masks for the protection of our audiences, staff, and artists; this policy shall remain in effect until further notice.
