Just a typical Tuesday at Theatre Lawrence

Jamie Ulmer • October 21, 2025

Walking through the halls of Theatre Lawrence this time of year, you’re treated to a remarkable variety of programs in action.


Last week, our biennial production of “The Rocky Horror Show” was rocking out on stage, getting ready for tech week. Meanwhile, downstairs, auditions for “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” were already bringing a hint of the holiday season.


Earlier that same day, our young performers were singing and dancing as they prepared for their fall production next month. The Vintage Players, not to be outdone, took their show on the road for a performance at a local retirement community. And let’s not forget Suitcase Stories—our outreach program visiting area classrooms to collaborate with students on original short plays inspired by their ideas.


Just a normal Tuesday at Theatre Lawrence. Well… maybe not a normal Tuesday—but not an unusual one either.


Sometimes, when we’re in the midst of back-to-back committee meetings, reviewing financial summaries, or troubleshooting the latest HVAC issue, it’s easy to forget the incredible number of ways we’re impacting people’s lives.


Whether in a classroom, a rehearsal, or a performance, Theatre Lawrence is proud to connect with so many parts of our community. And somewhere between the competing melodies of “Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me” and “Happy Holidays,” it’s good to pause, take a breath, and remember why we’re so busy.
