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.

“THE MOUNTAINTOP” MEMPHIS TRIP SERIES: LORRAINE HOTEL The National Civil Rights Museum is a complex of museums and historic buildings built around the former Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2016, the museum was honored by becoming an affiliate museum of the Smithsonian Institution.  Civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr. stayed in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in early April 1968, while working to organize protests around the ongoing Memphis sanitation strike. While standing on the balcony outside his room on the evening of April 4, King was suddenly shot once through the neck by an unseen assassin's sniper's bullet. King fell to the ground, bleeding from his head and neck. He was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, but the wound was fatal. He died at the hospital an hour after the shooting.

Why The Mountaintop matters now: a powerful look at Dr. King’s humanity, the voices of the civil rights movement, and a journey that shaped this production.
