Theatre Harrisburg’s story is Harrisburg’s story.

This Tuesday’s Grit & Gravitas features special guest Lorien Reese Mahay, Executive Director of Theatre Harrisburg, as the organization celebrates 100 years of creativity, resilience, and community.   

Founded by a group of women in the basement of the Harrisburg Library, Theatre Harrisburg has spent a century bringing people together through productions built by local hands and local talent. Lorien shares what makes community theatre so powerful and reflects on her unexpected path to Harrisburg, stepping into the role on the very day the theatre reopened after COVID. 

As Lorien opens up about stewardship, imposter syndrome, and listening before leading, tune in for business vitamins and a beautiful reminder that art gives us a place to belong. Theatre Harrisburg is presenting Godspell through May 10 and “Follies” & Festivities: A Theatre Harrisburg Centennial Celebration in Two Acts. Learn more at theatreharrisburg.com.
