More than 30 theatre, dance and musical performances fill LCC's Dart Auditorium, Black Box Theatre and outdoor amphitheater each year. Four large-scale productions attract attendees of all ages and most earn top awards and recognition from local theatre reviews. Each summer, free performances ranging from classic to quirky take the stage at the outdoor amphitheater for "Summer Stage Under the Stars."
