Business Description
Celebrating Our 28th Season:
FIGHT, DREAM, HOPE, LOVE...we invite you to DREAM THE DREAM with us!
The Lake Mirror Center Theatre Complex is the home of The Lakeland Community Theatre.
Its mission, “To provide an affordable, high quality theatre experience for the people of Lakeland and its surrounding areas and to create an opportunity for individuals of all ages to develop and showcase their talents in a safe, nurturing, educational environment”
In 1986 the City of Lakeland responded to a growing need to provide a community theatre in Lakeland. The theatre began as a dedicated group of volunteers committed to providing the children of Lakeland and their families the opportunity to enjoy educational and cultural enrichment through participating in and viewing of live theatre by producing two children’s shows per season.
Today in its 28th season The Lakeland Community Theatre boasts a Main Stage season of five high quality productions; The Eunice Fuller Theatre for Youth three show season as well as classes, summer camps, workshops, Master Classes; The Edge: Alternative Stage Read Series; The Page to Stage Traveling Troupe serving area schools; The Out of the Box Troupe for special needs youth and adults and many special productions and events each year. Dedicated to keeping ticket prices affordable and still operating on the original expectation of the theatre raising its own revenue to cover costs, the theatre engages the support of the community through a sponsorship and advertising base, grants, and major fundraisers to support the needs of the theatre. The City of Lakeland has been a vital partner and asset in creating and maintaining a home of its community theatre, in kind.
Over the past twenty seven years The Lakeland Community Theatre has brought over 190 quality productions to the people of Lakeland and its surrounding areas, has given over 3,800 volunteer community performers the opportunity to be on stage, over 6,800 other volunteers the opportunity to work behind the scenes and over 360,000 audience members the opportunity to see live theatre.
Approximately over 1,500,000 volunteer hours have been logged over the past 28 years. Over 375 of those volunteer actors and back stage personnel who started with the theatre have pursued careers in the entertainment industry.
The Theatre for Youth productions are available to the students of Polk County through implementation of school day and summer camp production matinees at reduced or no cost. Lakeland Community Theatre also provides scholarships to summer camps, classes and workshops to under resourced youth. Over 55,000 students in the past 27 years have benefited from these Youth Education programs.
Lakeland Community Theatre donates, partners with and supports great community organizations such as The SPCA of Lakeland, Lighthouse Ministries, The Imperial Symphony Orchestra, Southeastern University, The Historic Polk Theatre, Theatre Winter Haven, Platform Florida, Polk Museum of Art, Talbot House Ministries, Parker Street Ministries and VISTE just a few to name.
