Lawrenceburg Children's Theatre

Since its inception in 2018, the Lawrenceburg Children's Theatre has operated as a division of the Lawrenceburg Academy of Performing Arts with a goal of bringing high quality theatre opportunities to children in Anderson and surrounding counties.

Our LCT performers are phenomenal and not lacking in talent!

Rave reviews flood in each year from attendees and we are so thankful for the continued support from our community.

What's Happening at Lawrenceburg Children's Theatre

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, Jr.
Spring 2026

At the Lawrenceburg Children's Theatre, we believe that children of all backgrounds and experience levels deserve an opportunity to experience theatre, and our goal is to never cut a child from our productions. Our very first spring show is no exception to that goal!

In January of 2026, we cast 100 children in Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, Jr. and are thrilled to bring the magic of the chocolate factory we all know and love to the stage for our community this spring. Performances will run April 23-26, 2026 at the ACHS Bearcat Theatre in Lawrenceburg. Follow us on Facebook @lawrenceburgchildrenstheatre for updates, ticket information, and introductions to our cast!

In September of 2023, 76 children came to audition for our Christmas production. We proudly cast each one and aimed to provide a unique experience for children of all theater backgrounds. Performances ran the weekend of December 1-3, 2023 with large crowds at each one. We are so proud of these kiddos and can't wait to see all the ways they will continue to contribute to our community in the years to come!
