Hall of Fame Class of 2022

John and Linda Lyche's unwavering support of the La Crosse Community Theatre has had a profound impact on the cultural landscape of the community. Their financial contributions, leadership, advocacy, and commitment to community engagement have transformed the LCT into a thriving institution that enriches the lives of countless individuals. The Lyche family's enduring love for the arts and their belief in the transformative power of theater serve as an inspiration to others, reminding us all of the importance of supporting and nurturing the performing arts in our communities.

During the development of what would come to be known as the Weber Center for the Performing Arts, they became collaborators on the project and supported the building’s development in several ways. By providing leadership and service to LCT’s oversight committee, they worked diligently and convincingly to build the energy and confidence necessary to ensure the success of the Weber Center project. Their generous financial gift at the onset of the fundraising campaign provided critical momentum and was instrumental in encouraging others to support the project. They have continued to be involved in our organization every season by attending performances, offering support to committees, and taking their personal time and money to give back to the employees of the organization. The main theatre LCT performs in is named for them, it could not be named for two better people.
