History
Since Lionheart’s opening in 2000, the local theatre has become one of the most beloved places in the Norcross community. Lionheart Theatre Company welcomes people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels to participate in and support the productions, camps, talent shows, art classes and other fun activities that the theatre hosts all year long.
The history of this nonprofit, volunteer-backed community theatre is rooted in the drama ministry at Norcross Presbyterian Church (NPC). Tanya Caldwell, the founder of The Church Drama Ministry at NPC has served as Artistic Director there since 1994. While at NPC, Tanya decided to start up Lionheart Theatre Company, bringing the arts to the whole of the community.
The theatre was brought to life through the dedication and hard work of several individuals. Many of these individuals continue to support and volunteer at the theatre. Due to their hard work and the hard work of other volunteers, past and present, Lionheart is now one of the leading community theatres in all of Gwinnett County.
