Lucas Area Community Theater, Inc. (LACT) currently consists of a group of eleven people who have renovated the old ISIS Theatre. The theater building had sat vacant for eighteen years until March of 1999 when LACT began renovation. Within eighteen months, LACT and several volunteers had gutted and remodeled the exterior and interior of the theater building with over 4000 hours of volunteer labor. Musical and theatrical performances, cinema productions and educational arts are a few of the multipurpose uses planned for the theater. Completion of the project was December 16th of 2000. Watch for upcoming show dates and live productions!
In October of 2005, the Lucas Area Community Theater began work on the Dressing Room/Community Room Addition project through the Kansas Department of Commerce KAN STEP grant. The project was completed in June of 2007. The addition consists of a basement with storage, dressing rooms, bathrooms, utility room, and dance studio. The main floor/community room has bathrooms and kitchenette along with a community room that would hold 50 people for a meeting with equipment to show a PowerPoint presentation or DVD movie. The community room can be opened up out onto the stage area for larger dinners for 100 people.
The Lucas Area Community Theater is a community owned theater with a board of directors that administer the daily use of the facility. First Run Movies are shown on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights with concessions. The theater has a digital DLP projector with RealD 3D capability and 7.1 Dolby Digital sound system. The facility is handicap accessible and has headphones for the hearing impaired. Special events include Easter and Christmas matinees sponsored by area businesses, exhibit area for art, dance recitals, style revue, and special concerts. The back community room and auditorium may be used for conferences with audio and video capability. Volunteers of all ages from the area community help with projection, sound, concessions, and clean up, giving around 1,200 hours of volunteer time a year to the Lucas Area Community Theater.
