New site coincides with several other online enhancements

Welcome to our new website!


This redesign has been in the works for over a year and we are excited to raise the curtain on our new site. In addition to a more modern and dynamic layout, you’ll find more features, in depth information about shows, and see a lot more of your friends and neighbors highlighted throughout the site.


“One of the first things on my goals list for Theatre Lawrence when I started was to enhance our web presence,” Jamie Ulmer, TL executive director, said. “This is such a dynamic organization and we needed a website that reflected the quality of work happening on stage.”


The redesign coincides with several other online changes for TL. We have switched to a new ticketing system. The new system is easier to navigate, and should provide a faster and more robust experience when you purchase tickets online.


Along with tickets, the new software will handle volunteer management. You just need to fill out an online volunteer application, then once approved you’ll be able to sign up for opportunities like ushering, tending bar, or other behind the scenes roles. We are still in the transition process with volunteer management, so please excuse any little unexpected bumps in the road.


Finally, the new box office system integrates donor management and email marketing – bringing together what had been four different systems that didn’t communicate with each other under one platform.


We are very excited to debut this and many other exciting enhancements to our community.

Last Friday, we celebrated the amazing commitment of the volunteers who truly make everything happen at Theatre Lawrence. Here are a few numbers to think about. There were 444 active volunteers last season, contributing more than 33,426 hours of their free time. That commitment has a value of more than $1,077,000, based on the IRS valuation of volunteer time - but we say the value is priceless. Everything we do, from regular season shows to community outreach to youth engagement, is possible thanks to our volunteers. These are people who choose to make a difference and share their talents to make Lawrence and Northeast Kansas a better place for all of us to live. At our volunteer celebration, we recognized our most active volunteers, who worked more than 350 hours, with the coveted Charley Awards and Volunteer of the Year Award . We continued celebrating our dedicated front-of-house teams with the Front Runner Awards - honoring those who worked every regular season production. We also debuted the Triple Threat Award, celebrating those who acted, volunteered more than 10 hours on a production crew, and volunteered front of house for three events. All that recognition is just a small way for us to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who makes Theatre Lawrence possible.
