ABOUT US
Since 1961 Theatre L'Homme Dieu has contributed to the vibrancy and allure of Alexandria and the Lakes Area by presenting exceptional theatre and entertainment.
Presenting exceptional live theatre, fine arts, and educational programming that celebrates culture and nurtures community. In 2025 Theatre L’Homme Dieu will celebrate our 65th Season with professional theatre programming for all ages that includes musicals, comedies, and dramas. In addition, we are proud to present a carefully curated Concert Series, bringing great artists and arts organizations to the Lakes Area.
Our Mission
Theatre L’Homme Dieu produces and presents exceptional live theatre, fine arts and educational programming that celebrates culture and nurtures community, enriching the quality of life throughout Alexandria, the Lakes Area and Central Minnesota.
History
Theatre L’Homme Dieu (TLHD) has a rich history of presenting theatre to the Alexandria Lakes Area. Founded in 1961, TLHD is the oldest operating summer stock theatre in MN. Formerly partnered with SCSU, we have been operating independently as a presenting theatre since 2009. That means that we don't produce community shows, rather we present professional theatre on our stage.
TLHD audiences are comprised of permanent residents, seasonal residents, tourists, and guests of the Alexandria area. TLHD’s campus is a former resort that was converted into a theatre campus with housing for 38, a lodge with an industrial kitchen, and a 272-seat proscenium theatre. The campus sits on 22 acres of wooded land, with access to Lake L’Homme Dieu.
