Excellent reviews for the award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company’s comedy hit “Biography” continue. An excerpt from Ricky Young’s review for “DC Metro Theater Arts”: “With their production of ‘Biography,’ director Gayle Stahlhuth and her cast and designers have turned a 1932 classic into a masterful stage production. The script is a bona fide masterpiece. It makes character arcs weave together seamlessly with social commentary that is still relevant today, and is entertaining, satisfying and witty. The cast delivers powerhouse performances. It’s an entertaining time in the theater. Don’t miss it!”
“Biography” runs Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. through October 15. On October 13, $5 from every ticket sold will go to Gilda’s Club South Jersey.
“Biography” must close on October 15, but ELTC will host events for Halloween.
