The Laguna Playhouse Mission Statement
To enrich lives through the magic of live theatre, to provide educational opportunities for children and adults, and to create experiences that stimulate cultural and social interaction and inspire our community.

Around the World in 80 Days |
There’s nothing like it in the world.
That feeling you experience — when you collapse into peals of laughter, when you can’t hold back tears, when you can’t stop talking about it with your friends, when you keep hearing the tunes in your head.
And that’s why you keep coming back again and again.
The magic of theatre offers the thrill of live performance, the discovery of a new story or an old one re-invented, the surprise of the unexpected or the ring of the familiar, the exploration of life’s mysteries or the celebration of our common humanity.
How fortunate for you to have a place where you can retreat for such experiences. How lucky we all are to have The Laguna Playhouse.
It’s your theatre.
