LORD LEEBRICK THEATRE COMPANY
I have attended most of the plays at this theater for several years. They consistently have very good acting and interesting scripts. The small intimate theater really helps engage the audience. I always leave with a tumult of emotions and lots to think about. I also produced one outside play there. The staff is professional, helpful, wonderful to work with.

Having played roles as an actor and audience member at LLTC since its inception, I appreciate this company's unique and valuable niche in the community. The choices of thought-provoking, relevant and entertaining plays, and the consistent quality of acting set Lord Leebrick apart from others' offerings. Its loyal supporter base is a testament to this. As an actor, I've been fortunate to have been in a number of West coast premiere, and/or original productions that played to sold out houses. Two Shakespeare productions I was involved in were held over and hailed as "the way the Bard would have wanted it done" and "at least as good as anything seen at regional repertory theaters", such as Ashland Shakespeare Festival. LLTC balances new, risky material with familiar pieces of substance, continuing to challenge actors, directors and other crew members, as well as theater-goers looking for an entertaining, stimulating evening of live theater. THey also offer a variety of community outreach programs, . Previously, I taught youth acting, through their summer and after-school programs, including working with at-risk teens. The results were heartwarming.

I have been a regular audience member for many years. A "flex Pass" holder. I served on the Board of Directors. I have acted in several productions. I have participated in many of the adult acting, voice, movement classes. LLTC is consistently voted "the best" small theatre company in Eugene, OR, by the readers of the very popular Eugene Weekly newspaper. I find it exciting to be next to that kind of creative energy that strives to produce plays that are current, intellectually stimulating, dealing with real issues, above the ordinary stuff usually performed by the typical community theatre. After closing Sarah Ruhl's, The Clean House, last season, I was at the gym and a young woman asked me, "were you in Clean House?" I said I was. She told me that she had recently moved to Eugene from New York City, and it was a great thrill for her to realize that she could still enjoy great theatre outside of the big city.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Experiencing an outlet for my creative urge in many ways. Acting, most of all. But gradually becoming an accepted member of the theatre community in Eugene - which, I have to say, adds so much richness to my life, and opened so many doors.

Without exception great people - full of fun and energy - and the woman who coordinates the volunteer program is just wonderful. She makes such an effort to really know people and put them in just the right spot!
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Completely remodel the new "old" decrepit building it has recently purchased in the Eugene Downtown area - It's old and leaky, but it is OURS - and will eventually increase our audience size, while still retaining the intimate nature that characterizes
