 One of the fastest and craziest comedies of the American stage, Arsenic and Old Lace, Joseph Kesselring’s farce of manslaughter and merriment, will open at Lakewood Theatre Company on Friday September 8, 2023, at 7:30 PM. 

Lakewood Theatre Company continues its 67th season of live theatre with Neil Simons's comedy, The Odd Couple. Neil Simon's legendary exploration of the relationship between fastidious Felix and his sloppy roommate Oscar is one of the most iconic and enduring pieces of 20th-century American comedy. The production, directed by Pat Patton, demonstrates that opposites can attract, but more likely they lead to hilarious results!

Lakewood Theatre Company continues its 67th season of live theatre with Shakespeare in Love, directed by David Sikking, a romantic comedy, based on the award-winning screenplay by Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman. The story was adapted for the stage by Lee Hall with music by Paddy Cunneen and plays at Lakewood Theatre Company November 1 a?" December 8, 2019.

Richard Bean's internationally acclaimed One Man, Two Guvnors opens at Lakewood Theatre Company on November 4, 2016, with songs by Grant Olding. The British comedy is based on an Italian play, The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldini, and transports the classic conundrums of a harlequin hero from 1740s Florence to 1960s Brighton, keeping the age-old traditions of one of the most revered theatre forms-commedia dell'arte.

Present Laughter, the classic comedy by Noel Coward, opens at Lakewood Theatre Company November 6, 2015.

The newly minted Northwest Classical Theatre Collaborative is hard at work on an inspired production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.

Lakewood Theatre Company continues its 61st season on November 1, 2013 with Inspecting Carol. Get your holiday cheer on with this hilarious, madcap comedy! Behind the scenes of a struggling theatre's annual slapdash production of A Christmas Carol, rehearsals are at a standstill. Tim is no longer Tiny, Scrooge wants to do the play in Spanish (Feliz Navidad), and their funding is on hold pending an inspection. This laugh out loud spoof makes for a night at the theatre that is anything but show business as usual. Parental advisory: the show is recommended for ages 13 and up, contains some mild profanity. Check out promo shots below!
