Timber Lake Playhouse
In 1961, Timber Lake Playhouse was established as a professional, non-profit summer theatre company, dedicated to providing cultural opportunities for developing artists and a showcase of quality theatre for the residents of northwestern Illinois and eastern Iowa. TLP is the oldest continuously operating professional summer theatre in Illinois. Timber Lake Playhouse is located in Mount Carroll, Illinois.

History
The current theatre building (erected after a fire destroyed the original wooden-frame structure in 1974) houses a 45′ wide semi-thrust revolving stage and 371 fixed seats (view a seating chart). The property is also home to 14 other buildings used for costumes, scenic and paint shops, food service and housing for the company. The unique layout of facilities allows the Playhouse to present work on a much larger scale than many summer theatre companies.

Since it’s first opening night on June 28, 1962, the Playhouse has presented more than 350 plays and musicals and nearly 4000 performances. TLP presents a challenging combination of material each year: a mix of large-scale musicals, new plays, and contemporary classics. The theatre hosts annual educational workshops for children and teens in conjunction with the Magic Owl Family Theatre’s productions of plays and musicals for young people and their families. Every August, Timber Lake also hosts week-long developmental workshops of new plays and musicals as part of its commitment to the future of American Theatre.

The Resident Company consists of 35 – 40 performers, technicians and musicians selected by interviews and auditions in cities across the country. Numerous guest performers, directors and choreographers supplement the resident company each season.Timber Lake is proud of its national reputation for excellence as a professional summer stock theatre. The theatre has served as launch pad for theatre artists of all kinds who have gone on to excellence in film, television, on Broadway and stages all over the world.
