Experience amazing artists, delicious pre-show dinners, and easy accommodations (parking is plentiful and free) at the Elgin Community College (ECC) Arts Center! The ECC Arts Center features two intimate theatres (the largest seats 662) and presents a range of exhilarating music, theatre, and comedy performances. Past performers include Ben Folds, Mavis Staples, Lewis Black, Rosanne Cash, Tommy Emmanuel, and John Hiatt. By partnering with ECC’s award-winning Culinary Arts and Hospitality programs, the ECC Arts Center offers pre-show dinners in conjunction with many events. The ECC Arts Center is also home to six college ensembles (ECC Concert Band, ECC Concert Choir, ECC Jazz Combo, ECC Steel Bands, ECC Musical Theatre, and ECC Theatre) and five community in-residence ensembles (BFH, Children’s Theatre of Elgin & Fox Valley Theatre Company, Elgin Master Chorale, Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, and Hamilton Wings’ SCORE!).
The Elgin Theatre Company has a rich theatrical history. A list of every ETC production, as well as other historical tidbits can be found here.
For over fifty nine years Elgin has enjoyed a vibrant and active community theatre group. Over the past several years, the word is out – there is quality theatre northwest of Chicago.
Many of our patrons are amazed at just how much talent we have here in Elgin and how lucky we are to be able to enjoy productions that rival those “downtown” (and at a fraction of the cost).
The goal of the Elgin Theatre Company is to provide quality entertainment and education to all residents of Elgin, and beyond. It is also a place for those wishing to explore and exercise their talents in a friendly, open, and warm atmosphere.
The Elgin Theatre Company exists for our community and we strive to be community theatre at its best. We welcome your involvement, your patronage, and your support!
