Lantern Theater Company is committed to an authentic and intimate exploration of the human spirit in our choice of classics, modern, and original works.

We create an innovative and stimulating theatrical experience that evokes thoughtful reflection and discussion long after the play ends.

Each season, the Lantern produces four mainstage productions, a variety of special events, and education and outreach programs in schools throughout the Greater Philadelphia area.
