The East Lynne Theater Company, based in Cape May, New Jersey, is a non-profit, professional theater company founded in 1980 by Warren Kliewer. At the time, there was no theater company in the United States dedicated to classics of the American stage. Kliewer saw the need to change this, and created a company where theatergoers, actors, and directors could experience entertaining and provocative plays by American masters such as Washington Irving, Rachel Crothers, and Eugene O’Neill.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
