OUR MISSION

Eclectic Full Contact Theatre was formed in 2011 with a dual purpose:
Bring visceral and engaging entertainment to a wide-ranging and diverse audience irrespective of style, subject, medium, or period. (“Eclectic”)
Foster a greater connection to, and understanding of, theatre in our audiences through providing them access to the behind-the-scenes workings of putting on a show through both in-person (attending read-thrus and specific rehearsals) and online (videos/photos of rehearsals as well as construction and tech) means (“Full Contact”)
​

Since its inception, EFCT has expanded on those two driving forces, increasing the scope of its productions through festivals highlighting not only standard one-act plays, but also live Foley and Theatre for Young Audiences as well as developing an entire audio production wing with two currently running audio drama podcasts. We have sought to expand the scope of our offerings by actively seeking out and developing relationships with women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ writers, directors, designers, and actors.
