Founded in 1964, the Lewiston Civic Theatre (LCT) has been a vibrant and enduring presence in the Lewis-Clark Valley for over six decades. Though based in Lewiston, Idaho, our impact reaches far beyond city limits. Our volunteers hail from both Idaho and Washington, and our audiences come from across the North Central Idaho region—some traveling great distances to experience our productions.

LCT is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to producing high-quality theatrical performances and providing theatre education opportunities year-round. Each season, running from September through June, we produce five to seven mainstage shows. In addition, we offer theatre classes throughout the year through our Acting Out youth program and host a children’s summer musical camp, which culminates in a full production each summer.

We are proud to serve as a creative home for actors, directors, and designers to collaborate and share their talents. LCT is committed to enriching the cultural life of the LC Valley and surrounding areas. As an inclusive and welcoming organization, we encourage participation from all members of our diverse community—onstage, backstage, and in the audience.

The value of live theatre to a community cannot be overstated. It inspires, educates, entertains, and unites. At LCT, we are passionate about keeping live theatre thriving and fostering a lasting appreciation for the performing arts.

Our Mission:
To enrich the lives of every community member by fostering and expanding a love for live theatre in a safe, inclusive, and collaborative environment.
