Mission: LLCC’s theatre program’s mission is to embrace and engage its community through curriculum and programs that advance theatre, arts, and the community of theatre artists. The theatre program provides space, resources, and encouragement to an array of activities that serve the needs of the college, and the community in a spirit of cooperation and collaboration.

Vision: LLCC’s theatre program is envisioned as the hub of activity and engagement both for the college and the broader Springfield region in the celebration of humanity and cultivation of excellence as expressed in the visual and performing arts.
