Ironwood Theatre

Iron Wood Gogebic

The Ironwood Theatre was incorporated in 1988 as an independent, non-profit cultural organization when the building was first leased from the City of Ironwood. The organization assumes all operating costs, maintenance and repairs of the facility. In the absence of local tax support, all operations are funded by membership donations, ticket sales, rental fees, several annual special-event fund raisers, grants from government agencies, along with corporate and private foundations. Area business support in the form of Playbill advertising and program sponsorship provides a key piece of the theatre's financial picture. The Ironwood Theatre is a volunteer based organization with an 11 member Board of Directors, one full-time and one part-time staff, 15 regular volunteer staff members and more than 100 individual event staff members, all of whom donate their time and skills because they believe in, and love the theatre.

Lake Superior Theatre Inc.

Marquette Marquette

Welcome to Lake Superior Theatre. When the lights dim , the performers come on stage, and legends from the past seem to come to life right before our eyes, we forget about the long hours it takes to turn a working boathouse into a theatre. The Cast and Crew give up a good part of our short summers to share their amazing talent and artistry each year bringing you new shows and we know you join us in thanking them for keeping the magic of LST alive. As Shelley Russell has said, "This theatre is of the U.P., built like this place has been built, on rock, with industry and pride,
with a need for beauty, with hope, and with reverence for the life and lives around us."

Little Traverse Civic Theatre

Petoskey Emmet

Little Traverse Civic Theatre was born in 1945 when a group of ambitious, talented volunteers organized an acting troupe under the name Petoskey Little Theatre. In January 1946, they presented their first play, You Can’t Take it With You. The group went on to present an average of three plays a year. In the spring of 1960, the group began a two-year reorganization; no plays were produced, but new members were recruited and plans were developed for the future. At this time, the name was changed to Little Traverse Civic Theatre to better represent the area the group served. The new name was then chartered as a Michigan non-profit corporation and later as a federal 501(c)3 corporation. Productions began again in 1962 with The Mouse that Roared.
