$50 tickets for this Saturday's fundraising Beatles concert
This week Jamie is in the auditorium with a relatively open stage talking about this weekend's special fundraising concert featuring the group Yesterday and Today. He also gives a rundown of all the upcoming events taking place at TL in the next few weeks.
Every Thursday we go live on Facebook and talk about what's happening at Theatre Lawrence, go behind the scenes of shows, explore parts of the building you may not see, and talk to the extraordinary people who make our programs happen.

Spring is always an exciting time. We get more hours of sunlight, the landscape transforms from brown and gray to vibrant shades of green, and everyone just seems a little bit happier. It’s also an exciting time at Theatre Lawrence! This week, we officially announced our 2025–2026 regular season—a fantastic mix of beloved classics and fresh contemporary hits. Get ready for plenty of laughs, catchy music, and stories that entertain while also offering something to reflect on. Early bird season tickets and renewals will be available very soon! But let’s not forget everything happening in our current season. Audiences are loving the fast-paced comedy of Clue—so much so that we’ve already added another performance! And coming up, Escape to Margaritaville will soon begin rehearsals. It’s the perfect way to kick off a fun, laid-back summer. (Spoiler alert: there’s a new machine in the bar—can you guess what one of the specialty drinks will be?) Speaking of summer, it’s not too early to plan for the kids. Our summer classes are enrolling now, and several are already more than halfway full! So get outside, soak up that sunshine, and be sure to enjoy everything Theatre Lawrence is bringing to life this spring. See you at the theatre, Jamie Ulmer Executive Director
Theatre Lawrence thanks Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee for awarding us $20,000 as a beneficiary of this year's "parade season." This funding will be used to support youth education programming at the theatre, including continuing our suitcase story program, youth productions, scholarship opportunities, and the Penguin Project. Throughout the early part of the year there were many fundraising events sponsored by the committee to raise funds for children's charities in our community. Theatre Lawrence was one of three local non-profits selected as beneficiaries this year. The other two are 100 Good Women and Ecumenical Campus Ministry. Theatre Lawrence expresses our deepest thanks to everyone involved in the St Patrick's Day organization for supporting us this year and everything they do for the community. Pictured above are TL executive director, Jamie Ulmer, Harper Anderson who represented us as our queen candidate, and education director Emily Giles. The Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade began in 1988 and is more than a one-day event. The committee runs more than 10 events throughout the year to raise money to support Douglas County area organizations that support children. Since 1998 the organization has donated more than $1.2 million. Learn more about the organization at https://lawrencestpatricksdayparade.com/
