From the reviews
The theatre is so beautiful.The staff is so friendly. They have programs to get kids and interested adults involved in theatre. We went to see Steel Magnolias. It was a great show. The actors did a great job building up the characters to an emotional climax.
The costumes and actors were all amazing!! Drove from Minnesota for Brandon vacation and this was a perfect start on day one. Me and my daughter took the 2 granddaughters 3 and 10 and we were impressed. The theatre was beautiful too
Wonderful experience with my daughters and granddaughters to see Frozen. Their first live theatre experience.
A beautiful theater, experience, and performance. We saw the Springfield Ballet's Nutcracker.
Your first ballet class at The Landers Theatre
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
