Lewis Family Playhouse
The city's professional theater for families inside the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center — now with a permanent outdoor stage.
The Lewis Family Playhouse has been the city's professional stage since the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center opened in August 2006, and its lane is specific: a professionally produced season aimed at families. That's rarer than it sounds — most cities this size settle for touring one-offs, and this is a real season in a purpose-built theater.
The building got meaningfully better in April 2026, when the Courtyard Project wrapped: a permanent outdoor stage with its own sound system, shade, and expanded seating. Expect more programming to spill outside in good weather, which around here is most of it.
Show times move with the season, so don't guess — call the box office at (909) 477-2752 or check the current calendar. The Biane Library and Second Story and Beyond share the same building, which makes a matinee here the anchor of an easy full afternoon with kids.
