Lakeland Community Theatre is an absolute gem in the heart of our city. My family and I have attended multiple productions here, and each time we leave amazed, inspired, and proud to be part of a community that celebrates the arts so passionately. The talent on stage rivals professional theaters—whether it’s a musical, drama, or youth performance, the cast brings energy, emotion, and authenticity that’s hard to find anywhere else. The production quality is top-notch: lighting, sound, costumes, and set design are all thoughtfully executed, creating an immersive experience from the moment the curtain rises. But what truly sets LCT apart is the heart behind it. You can feel the dedication of the volunteers, staff, and performers in every detail. It’s more than entertainment—it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and local pride. Lakeland is lucky to have this theatre. It’s a place where families bond, kids discover their passion, and adults reconnect with the magic of live performance. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of the best cultural treasures in town. Bravo to everyone who...

Whoever is in charge needs to rethink the mission statement of...

The auditorium lights mysteriously were turned on for about 5 minutes, very distracting. The concession is located between the two small entrances and creates a blockage for persons coming in, add that to the numbers using walkers/wheelchairs. But the most distraction was the constant opening doors of the entrance to the theatre, bright lights were thrown into the auditorium. The location of the theatre is lovely. And the seating are comfortable, planned out well so that there are...
