Love Creek Productions, as a producing organization, is divided into five branches - ETC, Brief Acts, Developing Acts, Foolish Mortals and Love Creek Productions.
Each of these five branches serves different purposes within our organization. For a list of productions from these various branches, please check the corresponding archives section.

ETC
ETC is the most autonomous of the producing arms. Once a year, any active member of our organization (both Love Creek Repertory Members and Performance Training Members) can produce a play. Although Love Creek provides the performance space and the box office, the individual serves as the de facto producer.
The individual chooses the work to be presented, secures the director, casts the show, and designs the flyers and programs.
One of our artistic staff comes in to assist. Unless the individual producing the play requests more, the artistic staff member will only give volume notes, and notes concerning sight lines.
Our ETC division exists, because it insures that our members have the opportunity to perform or participate at least once a year, in a play of their choice.
The ETC Production has between 3 and 8 performances.

BRIEF ACTS
Brief Acts is pretty much where everyone starts. This is the one act division of the company. In this division we produce both published and original works.
Brief Acts provides a potpourri of plays. When you attend Brief Acts you will see plays ranging from classical to experimental.
We produce one acts from major authors oftentimes seldom seen. These plays often give insight into the beginnings of certain themes that play major roles in well-known plays of the authors. For example T. William's Portrait of a Madonna in many ways hints at the tragedy to be found in Streetcar.
Brief Acts provides an opportunity for the actor new to our organization to display his/her talents to our various directors. It is also an opportunity to invite industry.
The average Brief Acts run is 3 to 4 performances.

DEVELOPING ACTS
Developing Acts is just what it says. In this producing arm we are developing talent. The development may be that of a writer, actor or director.
Often directors do their first full-length project in this division. Other times actors are afforded the opportunity to work on material and writers which are not part of their repertory.
One of our goals in this division is to provide the actor an opportunity to expand his knowledge of working with a variety of well-known writers.
This division does original work, but it also has produced Shakespeare, Wilson, Williams, O'Neil, Guare and a host of other writers.
Runs are from 5 to 8 performances.

FOOLISH MORTALS
This is the classical producing arm of the company. The current Artistic Director is Kelly Barrett. In this division of the company, plays starting with the Greek and going all the way through to the 1940s are produced.
Foolish Mortals plays run from 5 to 10 performances.

LOVE CREEK PRODUCTIONS
Love Creek Produces approximately 12 shows a year, both original and published works are done by Love Creek. Le Wilhelm is the artistic director for Love Creek.
Love Creek's shows run from 5 to 24 performances.
