Lake Country Playhouse

The Lake Country Players have been providing entertainment to audiences for 50 years, presenting dramas, comedies, and musicals (over 100 at last count!) in a variety of locations around the Lake country of Waukesha County.

In early spring of 1959 an article appeared in the Lake Country Reporter asking that any area people interested in forming a community theatre group meet at Arrowhead High School. Marvin Solomon, an AHS English teacher, initiated the article. About 40 people responded and got busy at once to produce a play. They elected officers, set up a play reading committee and by-laws committee. Within a few weeks tryouts were held, and in June 1959 LCP presented its debut production, “Sabrina Fair”, for 2 performances. Solomon became the founding President of the organization, as well as directing its first play. By the end of the year, the Lake Country Players were incorporated as a non-profit arts group, and we were off and running!
