Welcome to Lexington Children’s Theatre and the 19th annual Summer Family Musical of Shrek the Musical. Lexington Children’s Theatre is a place for families. We have been a part of Lexington for 84 years and it is your support that has made that a possibility.  We consider everyone who comes to LCT to be a part of our family, whether they see a show, take a class, or get involved in a production. LCT is a place where you belong.

Our artists and staff strive to create artistic and compelling theatre for patrons of all ages. Every time a cast and production crew work together on a show a family is formed. We want you to know that it takes everyone in our family, everyone in our community, and every one of you to continue to make Lexington Children’s Theatre great.

As we produce Shrek the Musical this year, I am reminded of all those that need a safe place to call home. Not just a physical four walls, but a place where they feel safe, supported, and allowed to be themselves. This is what we strive for at LCT. We want all ages, races, religions, abilities, or genders to feel this is your place. Shrek reminds us that it is not our wealth, education, or class that brings us together, but kindness and love. May we all take a lesson from her optimistic outlook on life and work hard to bolster our neighbors in our community.  

The cast and crew have enjoyed the process of creating this play together and we hope you enjoy our performance! Perhaps you will be inspired to become a part of LCT’s family. So, see another show, take a class, donate your time or financial support, get involved and help keep LCT a shining jewel in Lexington.

Indigenous peoples have lived on the land now called Kentucky for at least 12,000 years. Every community owes its existence and heritage to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams, and stories to making the history that led to this moment. Indigenous peoples have always lived on the land that is now called Kentucky and continue to live here today. The place we now call Kentucky is primarily Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Osage land.

A commonly cited claim many of us heard in history class growing up is that this region was merely a hunting ground. This claim is a myth, perpetuated at first by land speculators who wished to improve land sales, and still today to absolve settler colonists and their descendants from grappling with their history of land theft, genocide, and white supremacy. The continuation of this myth is harmful for all of us.

Lexington Children’s Theatre is committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome to enjoy the magic of theatre. Learn more about Audio Description, ASL Interpretation, Sensory Friendly Performance, and Pre-Visit Resources by following the link below.
