About the Show
The Electric Company is a group of friends from a New York neighborhood bound by a love for language and sworn to do the right thing. The Electric Company solves problems created by a mischievous group of neighborhood pranksters. The Electric Company takes place in a mixed and vibrant neighborhood, where you can (and do) meet all kinds of people. The Electric Diner is the headquarters for The Electric Company. The Company has a regular booth where they hang out, tease one another and hatch plans. Each member of The Electric Company has the ability to produce, control, manipulate, and play with words and letters. Like The Electric Company, the Pranksters like to play with words. Unfortunately, they use their word skills to create chaos in the neighborhood.
