About Us:
The Lex-Ham Community Theater started as a program of the Lexington-Hamline Community Council (LHCC). Throughout its history, the LHCC has provided the neighborhood with programs that help to maintain good housing, a healthy environment, and facilities for recreation and strategies for protection from crime. The original fundamental purposes of the LHCC remain the same: to improve the quality of life in the Lexington-Hamline neighborhood and to bring about long-term, sustainable community change for the neighborhood, by the neighborhood.
In 1995, the LHCC authorized a task force to initiate the Lex-Ham Community Theater to produce quality theatrical experiences by and for the residents of the Lexington-Hamline and surrounding neighborhoods in St. Paul. The LHCC provided a bare minimum of staff support to the company, while the LHCC Board of Directors provided general financial oversight. The Lex-Ham Community Theater operates on a day-to-day basis almost exclusively on volunteers.
