GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LCCC THEATRE PROGRAM

Our mission is to entertain, enlighten, and educate the diverse community in which we reside, by producing plays through the unique collaborative effort of community volunteers and the Theatre Department of Lorain County Community College.

Through this mission LCCC Theatre desires:
  • To serve the community by offering a diverse series of arts events, aimed at expanding the communities' awareness of the arts of many cultures, the accessibility of classic literature, and the many different forms of performing arts.   
  • To educate the college students and staff by providing exposure to the many different genres of theatre and affording them the opportunity to produce theatre themselves; in addition to working with more experienced professional faculty and staff.
  • To support the theatre community by providing serious and meaningful performance opportunities necessary to their development as artists.
