Mission/Purpose

The purpose of the LMMS Theatre Program is to introduce middle school students to the world of theatre. Our goal is to make available opportunities to participate in as many aspects of the world of theatre as possible. Two productions are put on each year: a comedy in the fall and a musical in the spring. All students are welcome and encouraged to either audition for an on-stage role or to apply for a position backstage. The play in the fall involves a smaller group, and provides a more intimate setting for all involved to learn more about the history, theory, and terminology of theatre. The production in the spring is meant to involve more people in a popular aspect of modern theatre - the musical. This introduces a large group of students to the intertwining of song, dance, instrument, and large set design as it applies to theatre. Many faculty, staff, and parents volunteer their time to make the productions at LMMS a huge success!
