Lake Superior Theatre Inc.
Marquette MarquetteWelcome to Lake Superior Theatre. When the lights dim , the performers come on stage, and legends from the past seem to come to life right before our eyes, we forget about the long hours it takes to turn a working boathouse into a theatre. The Cast and Crew give up a good part of our short summers to share their amazing talent and artistry each year bringing you new shows and we know you join us in thanking them for keeping the magic of LST alive. As Shelley Russell has said, "This theatre is of the U.P., built like this place has been built, on rock, with industry and pride,
with a need for beauty, with hope, and with reverence for the life and lives around us."
