BE PART OF THE STORY
For more than 65 years, Lake Country Playhouse & Academy has been a place where stories come to life—where artists and audiences connect, creativity thrives, and community gathers.
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we rely on the generosity of our community to keep theatre, education, and the arts accessible in Hartland.
Together, we’re working toward a $20,000 year-end goal to support productions, classes, scholarships, and the ongoing care of our historic Playhouse.
WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS
Every ticket sold and every class taught tells a story—and your support makes those stories possible.
Your donation helps us:
Produce inspiring performances like A Christmas Carol, Our Town, and Anastasia
Educate and empower young artists through Academy classes, camps, and scholarships
Maintain and improve our 82-seat historic Playhouse
Keep ticket prices accessible so everyone can Be Part of the Story
Every dollar keeps the lights shining, the doors open, and the stories unfolding.
‘TIS THE SEASON TO TAKE YOUR SEAT
This holiday season, honor a loved one—or yourself—by taking your place in our story.
With a Take Your Seat gift of $500 or more, your name (or honoree) will be engraved on a commemorative plaque in our performance space for five years, with first right of renewal.
Your gift supports our annual operations while symbolically investing in the future home of Lake Country Playhouse & Academy.
Holiday Bonus:
The first 40 donors who give $500 or more before January 1 will receive two exclusive tickets to our 2026–2027 Season Announcement Event in April—an invitation-only evening of performances, sneak peeks, and celebration.
✨ Give a gift that lasts far beyond the season.

LOOKING AHEAD: OUR NEXT CHAPTER
For over six decades, Lake Country Playhouse & Academy has told stories in spaces shaped by creativity, care, and community support.
As we look to the future, we’re beginning to imagine what’s next—a dedicated Black Box Theatre designed to expand accessibility, education, rehearsal space, and community storytelling for generations to come.
We’re currently in a quiet planning phase, focused on listening, dreaming, and sharing the vision.
Full details will be shared in the new year.
