TL offices closed for holiday break

December 22, 2025
The Theatre Lawrence offices will be closed beginning Wednesday, Dec. 24 for our annual holiday break. We will be officially back in the office on Monday, Jan. 5. Our staff and volunteers are prioritizing spending time with friends and family, along with self care during this time. While the office will not be open until Jan. 5, the SOTI scheduled for Jan. 2 will take place, and rehearsals for "The Mountaintop" will continue during this time. Tickets and gift certificates are available from our online box office 24/7. 2025 was a year filled with amazing achievements, but also some tragic losses. We truly appreciate the support of the hundreds of volunteers who help bring the theatre to life. We also value the thousands of patrons who fill our seats, the generous donors who contribute to our operations, and the community-minded businesses who sponsor our programs. Thank you everyone for supporting us in 2025. We look forward to the future in 2026! Pictured below the Theatre Lawrence regular staff.
