​New Community Theatre Coming to Lometa

By Rachel Stanford

Theatre veteran Jennifer Wisian is bringing community theatre to Lampasas County with the brand new Lometa Community Theatre!
On August 10th, Lometa Community Theatre will debut with Scott Haan’s “Superhero Sanitarium,” a comedy about a mental health ward populated by inmates who believe they are superheroes. The play will be performed in the Lometa High School cafetorium. Catering for the event will be provided by  local Mexican restaurant, Rancho Seco. Ticket pricing has not yet been decided.
Currently, the community theatre does not have a dedicated stage to perform on. Until then, Wisian plans on staging plays with the assistance of other businesses and entities throughout Lometa. Wisian explained in a Facebook post: “Like most community  theatres, we start with shows to build excitement while we wait for our home theater to manifest itself.”
Originally, the closest community theatre to Lampasas was Goldthwaite Community Theatre half an hour away, where Wisian worked as artistic director before moving on to build Lometa Community Theatre. Lometa Community Theatre is the only community theatre in Lampasas County.
As Lometa Community Theatre grows, Wisian plans on developing a summer youth drama camp, and working with local organizations to assist with fundraising through benefit performances.
