Our Commitment to be Safe and Inclusive
La Crosse Community Theatre is committed to being a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where creativity and collaboration thrive. In alignment with our mission and vision, we celebrate diversity, uphold respect, and ensure that everyone—onstage, backstage, and in our audience—is valued and supported through the art of theatre.
Who We Are
La Crosse Community Theatre has been the Coulee Region's premiere arts institution since 1963 and is currently the primary resident of the state-of-the-art Weber Center for the Performing Arts which is nestled on the beautiful banks of the Mississippi River. Entertaining thousands of patrons each year, LCT now produces four main stage shows in the 450-seat Lyche Theatre, three black box shows in the 100-seat Veterans Studio Theatre, three staged readings, and a theatre for young audiences touring production. We also offer youth performance and education opportunities through our Star Academy, which provides classes and camps to local youth, and The Penguin Project, which invites youth with disabilities to appear in a musical with the support of a peer mentor. LCT is a member of the American Association of Community Theatre and the Wisconsin Association of Community Theatre.
