Lakeside Players (LSP) Inc. is a non-profit community theatre group formed in 1973 in Kenosha, WI. 

The Rhode Center for the Arts, which is owned by LSP Inc., provides the community with increasingly ambitious theatrical productions and other forms of live entertainment. The Rhode Center is home to two performance venues, the Donna Wolf-Steigerwaldt Auditorium and Skinner Hall, as well as The Pollard Gallery.  A full season of comedies, dramas, and musicals are presented as part of the LSP Mainstage Series, as well as adults-only performances in the Stage Noir Series,  productions in the Family Theatre Series.  This community-minded and volunteer-driven organization is also host to a variety of arts events produced in association with other creative groups and organizations throughout the year.

How do I use my FlexPass Membership admissions?

You will use this Patron ID when you purchase tickets online; simply click on the Redeem Benefits button when payment is requested. You may also bring your Patron ID to the box office, pending availability of tickets.You can also send an e-mail to: info@rhodecenter.org 

Do you cancel performances due to inclement weather?

 It is unlikely that we will cancel a performance due to inclement weather. However, if the downtown area is not accessible for vehicular traffic, if street parking is banned, or if the Rhode Center venue is without power for an extended period, we may have no choice but to cancel. In the unlikely event that a performance is canceled, an announcement will be displayed on our website two hour prior to the event start time. If you have already purchased tickets to a canceled performance, you will receive a message to the email address associated with your order. Generally, paid admissions are transferred to another performance of your choice for the same production or, in some cases, to another production. Paid admissions can also be converted to tax-deductible donations. For additional assistance, contact our Box Office at info@rhodecenter.org 

Is your space available for rent?

 

Yes! The Donna Wolf Steigerwaldt Auditorium (seats 320), Skinner Hall (seats 230), and our Judy Rossow Grand Lobby (Max. Capacity 300) can be rented, pending availability. Please review our season to ensure that the date you are requesting is not a performance date.
