2025 Benefit Concert a Huge Success!

October 22, 2025

What a night! Theatre Lawrence was rocking a nearly sold out house on October 10 as the Beatles tribute band Yesterday & Today brought down the house at our 2025 Benefit Concert. From the great music, to a surprise wedding proposal, the energy in the room was electric!


Thanks to the incredible generosity of our audience, sponsors, and donors, the evening raised approximately $61,000 in net proceeds, with more than $31,000 contributed through the Raise the Paddle for The Penguin Project—our program empowering young artists with special needs to shine on stage.


Guests enjoyed great music, delicious food and drinks, and a joyful celebration of community and the arts.


We’re grateful to everyone who made it possible—our volunteers, sponsors, and the amazing crowd who filled the theatre with joy and Beatles love!

TL board holds 2025 planning retreat

October 10, 2025
The TL Board of Directors, along with some members of the staff, spent a recent Saturday engaging in a productive annual planning and strategy session. The board holds these annual planning sessions outside of regular monthly meetings to freely discuss topics and ideas. The day also allows the board to deep dive into major topics and learn more about being effective stewards of the organization, as well as getting to know each other better. In addition to evaluating recent strategies and last season’s goals, the session focused on envisioning future impact of TL and what steps will be needed to achieve those goals. We truly appreciate the dedication and expertise of our board members as we move the theatre into the future. Thanks also to Brandon Woods at Alvamar for providing a space away from our regular conference room to refresh our brains.
