Its seasons contain something for everyone. Island ETC is Galveston County’s only professional repertory theatre company and stages five to six productions a year. What began as the “Strand Street Theatre” in the 1970s, the theatre has been operating as Island ETC (the east-end theatre compa- ny) since 2002. The company’s previous space was located on Postoffice and 20th streets, but Hurricane Ike in 2008 devas- tated that location — just as plans were being made to move in and take over the Strand Theatre. Through the generosity of local patrons, Island ETC re-opened in July 2009 with a re-staging of “Cabaret,” the show that put the theatre on the map as a company. The historic Strand Theatre building is a proud and beautifully re- stored survivor of the Storm of 1900 and Hurricane Ike. Island ETC also provides the youth of Galveston Coun- ty with a Students on Stage classes in the performing arts. Students are instructed in the principles of acting, singing, dancing, improvisa- tion and costuming. ETC is delighted to present “Four Old Broads on the High Seas” by Les- lie Kimball. The play runs from Sept. 15 to October 7. Visit www.islandetc. org to purchase your tickets today.
