Drama
Telling Authentic Stories
Drama is a form of communication that can be of service in the Kingdom of God to tell powerful stories about the human condition.
Drama Statement
We provide students with opportunities that cultivate and showcase creativity and self-expression while challenging them to a deeper understanding of God’s world. Theater is an important part of the educational program that transforms lives to change our world.
At times, truthful storytelling requires the portrayal of attitudes and actions that are contrary to our understanding of God’s desire for us. Our belief is that the story challenges us to think critically and wrestle with life and human brokenness. Engaging in this challenge strengthens our ability to serve the world as God’s instruments of healing and hope.
The High School and Middle School engages students in drama productions annually. The drama program varies among the grade level in terms of the degree of student involvement and number of productions.
- High School – Traditionally have one fall play, one winter musical and one spring showcase per year.
- Middle School – Students perform one theatrical production each year.
You can purchase season tickets online.
A Season Pass gives you access for up to FOUR Lancaster Mennonite Main Stage shows each year. Choose from one middle show play, two high school plays and one musical. Buy membership now and pick your dates later!

LMH Winter Musical
LMH Winter Musical: A Year with Frog and Toad.
Arnold Lobel’s treasured characters hop from page to stage in a story of friendship and adventure.
A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards – including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books, and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons.
Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe… all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.
The jazzy, upbeat score of A Year with Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting musical for the whole family.

LMH Fall Play Recap
Flowers for Algernon
This Fall our high school students brought to life “Flowers for Algernon” — a timeless story that reminds us what it means to be human.
We’re so proud of our cast, crew, and directors for their thoughtful performances and hard work in sharing a story that encourages kindness, compassion, and reflection on the “maze” we each walk in life.
Bravo to everyone involved for a moving and memorable production!
