Celebrating 30 Years at the Lantern

The mission of Lantern Theater Company is to produce plays that investigate and illuminate what is essential in the human spirit and the spirit of the times. We are committed to an authentic and intimate exploration of the human spirit in our choice of classic, modern, and original works for the stage. We seek to be a vibrant, contributing member of our community, exposing audiences to great theater, inviting participation in dialogue and discussion, engaging audience members on artistic and social issues, and employing theatrical language and techniques to enrich learning in local classrooms.

The Lantern became a national leader in streaming theater during the Covid health crisis, producing ten fully designed plays that were created and filmed at St. Stephen' s Theater. These productions garnered coverage across national media, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and reached more than 30,000 people in 15 countries and all 50 states.

During our 30th anniversary season, we will reach a loyal and growing audience of over 25,000 through our core programming:

  • MAINSTAGE PRODUCTIONS: We will produce four plays in our subscription series and our annual holiday production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, creating theater that is smart, fun, engaging, and connected to our modern world.

  • ILLUMINATION EDUCATION PROGRAM: Our innovative education program will serve more than 7,000 local middle school and high school students and teachers with in-school residencies; matinee performances for students, including our annual production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; and teaching artist training.
