“One of the boldest, bravest theatre companies on Long Island,” according to Fire Island News, EastLine Theatre aims to create theatre in unlikely spaces while re-examining the canon, exploring modern plays, and bringing original works to the attention of the community.
EastLine returns to the BACCA Arts Center after September's performances of The Hours Are Feminine. In recent years, EastLine has produced a marathon staging of both parts of Angels in America; the Long Island premiere of Paula Vogel's Indecent; a Treasure Island that BroadwayWorld said was “bursting at the seams with imagination”; and a production of In the Next Room by Sarah Ruhl that Long Island Theatre Scene said “raises the bar of creativity for all theaters.” EastLine will return to BACCA Arts Center for a new season beginning February 2026.
