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

“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.

A heartfelt thank you and bravo to everyone who auditioned! It was an utter joy to watch every single one of you, and extremely challenging to settle on just one cast from a pool of such tremendous talent. -Maeghan Bishop-Brienzo
