The  Struggle  is  real–We've  been  there

We know it takes time to search for a quality musical, because we’ve been in your shoes when we directed musicals ourselves. And we’ve also commiserated with fellow directors at the grueling task that you’re facing right now—making the perfect selection for this year’s musical. This isn’t something to be decided and bought on a whim. Finding something that is well-written and fits your cast is about as easy as finding that misplaced prop you need for the next scene.

You’ve probably been scouring the internet in hopeful anticipation for that perfect fit. You know, the script with witty, memorable dialogue prompting laughter from the crowd. You want rich harmonies and memorable melodies.  You won't give up until you find the musical that inspires you, that makes you eager to get started on blocking and choreography right away.

We’ve been in the business of musical theatre, both on stage and off. Now, it’s our honor and passion to provide carefully crafted stage productions for organizations like yours.

Perhaps you’ve collected an assortment of options and will soon face the arduous dilemma of making a final decision. Or maybe you keep striking out—you can’t even get Google to understand what you’re searching for, let alone find a suitable selection. You don’t need that drama. Well, sit back and enjoy the plush, red seat for a moment because you’re at the right place now. Hello, we’re Five Lanterns Productions and we’re very happy to meet you.

For over 15 years, we’ve been in the business of musical theatre, both onstage and off, and now, it’s our honor and passion to provide carefully crafted stage productions for organizations like yours. Whether you’ve been a showstopper for years or you’re making your debut as an actor or director, our musicals will make you and your cast look good.​ 

We are a Christian company, committed to providing quality entertainment that is family-friendly and God-honoring.  Our productions are ideal for churches, Christian schools, homeschool groups, amateur or professional theatre organizations, or for anyone who wants to produce a show that won't make their grandma blush! 
  
So, there you have it. That’s our opening act. As we close the curtains, we invite you to settle in your seat and take this intermission to check out everything we offer. Together, let’s work to bring down the house.
