Sustaining Your Community Theatre

In 2020, after nearly 60 years in existence, La Crosse Community Theatre was faced with a crisis.  A global pandemic shut down the entire entertainment industry and LCT was not immune.  The stage had to go dark to protect ourselves, our patrons and the community we love.  Though some small offerings were made virtually during the pandemic, LCT was forced to close.  LCT reopened in 2021 with a new staff and a new outlook.  The 2021-2022 season was one of LCT’s most ambitious seasons to date.  Invigorated by grants to help performing arts organizations weather the COVID storm, LCT successfully produced 5 Broadway and 4 Blackbox performances.  The lights were turned back on and the production quality of the shows was better than ever. 

Now begins the next phase for LCT.  Life is returning to normal as the pandemic winds down.  LCT must once again rely on generous donors to continue to produce such a high volume of quality productions.  Historically, over 30-40% of our revenue  came from donations. We’re asking our community of Friends to help us now that our doors are back open. Our Friends are the generous individuals and organizations that will help usher LCT into this next post-pandemic phase.  We’ve survived through the pandemic. Now we are asking that you help us thrive as we move past it.
