We provide opportunities for all levels of volunteer involvement and recognize these contributions as crucial to the success of Lakeland’s productions and programs. We provide a supportive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of skill level, experience or background. Volunteers are essential to the success of Lakeland.

We are committed to reaching out to new audiences, patrons and volunteers that are reflective of the community that we serve. We provide affordable, accessible and diverse programs to achieve participation by all segments of our community. We provide life-long learning opportunities for people of all ages, particularly children, through the art of theatre.

We actively strive to achieve excellence in all of our programs as well as to maintain the artistic integrity of our productions to the highest standards possible. We also reserve the right to take artistic risk and to make mistakes while striving for excellence in all of our endeavors.

We seek to play a role as a community leader, forming partnerships and collaborations with others, and acting as a resource for cultural policymakers. Also, we seek to develop leaders within our organization through training and education programs.
