LTP Founding Member Jack Carmean recently represented us at NIVA (National Independent Venue Association) for their annual 3-day conference.

We are thrilled to be part of such an important exchange of ideas where we can share what we have learned, and hear from so many other theaters in communities like our own.

We look forward to implementing what we have learned in the coming months, as we prepare to re-open the Lompoc Theater!
