Welcome to Your LU Theatre Journey

We seek the Lord first in all artistic pursuits. As we step into the world of dreams and drama where imagination takes center stage we acknowledge that creativity and imagination come from our Creator. Every story unfolds with passion and every role offers a fresh journey into the extraordinary. We don’t aim to be like the world, and we don’t shy away from being in it.
