An extraordinary theatre deserves an extraordinary season of events

Jamie Ulmer • July 14, 2024

2024-2025 Season

An extraordinary theatre deserves an extraordinary season of events. The upcoming season at Theatre Lawrence, in addition to lifting your friends and neighbors to new heights, has the power to take our community on extraordinary journeys that will amaze and inspire.


Together, we’ll go on a journey of laughs with shows like Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” and the new comedy “Chicken and Biscuits.” You’ll laugh and maybe think a little bit with “Native Gardens.” “Clue: On Stage” delivers laughs and a mystery to solve. It will be a relaxing feel-good time as the music of Jimmy Buffett takes you away to “Margaritaville.” Our holiday show (to be announced on Aug. 5) will be fun for the entire family and fill you with pure imagination.


New this year, subscribers will receive a 10% discount when you purchase tickets to our extraordinary special events like the edgy “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and our concert-style staging of the inspirational “Sunday in the Park with George.”


As a subscriber you get so much more than a seat in the audience and discounts. You are supporting our educational programs, outreach efforts, and special events like the Penguin Project. You are making our community a better place for all of us.


What truly makes Theatre Lawrence extraordinary is you. Whether in the audience, fulfilling the dream of being on stage, being inspired in a class, or volunteering to make the magic happen, it is our friends, neighbors, and people like you who are the extraordinary ones. We come together and create memories that will linger in the hearts and minds of our community for years to come.


Thank you for being part of what makes Theatre Lawrence an extraordinary destination for some of the best theatrical experiences in the area. Let’s bring up the lights and see the remarkable places we’ll go together!


See you at the theatre

Finding the positive

By Jamie Ulmer • February 18, 2025
How do you stay positive and find inspiration during difficult times? That’s definitely something on a lot of minds right now. While it might seem cliché I know I’ve seen the positive impact of the arts radiating from activities at TL. “Native Gardens” used humor to spark timely conversations about belonging and perceptions of our neighbors. “Sunday in the Park with George” brought tears to many patron’s eyes as we reflected on the sacrifices we make for our passions and our lasting legacies. We saw joy and excitement on the faces of kids in the audience at our free Suitcase Stories performance and from the stage during the middle school musical “Tut Tut”. That impact is continuing, as our upcoming “Chicken and Biscuits” hilariously explores family and our common bonds. Nothing highlights inspiration like the Penguin Project which has started work for this summer’s show. We’re connecting with the broader community as we are a beneficiary of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade festivities (support of those upcoming events helps our education programs). Make no mistake, the challenges are many, and continue to compound. One thing that has always provided inspiration, creative shelter, and community connection is the arts. Let’s work together to keep making sure that stays true.
