Elevator Repair Service Theater

Elevator Repair Service (ERS) creates high-energy, risk-taking original theater with an ongoing ensemble. Our sources range from found material (transcripts of trials, old movies, YouTube videos) to literature and conventional plays (both classical and contemporary). ERS was awarded an NTP touring grant for its production of ARGUENDO in 2014. Around this time, a full-time Development Director was hired for the first time. Formalizing this position proved invaluable as ERS transitioned into a new organizational phase wherein contributed income began to outweigh earned income. This trend has maintained, with the Development Director now overseeing ~63% of ERS's budget.
