Our Vision

At Wandering Lantern Productions, we believe that stories have the power to bring people together—and that a little magic can go a long way in strengthening a community. Our vision is to create theatrical and interactive experiences that feel alive, imaginative, and welcoming to all, whether you’re stepping into a shadow-cast performance, a whimsical celebration, or a collaborative community event.

We envision a world where arts and fantasy aren’t escapes from reality, but bridges: connecting neighbors, families, and fans of all ages through shared joy, shared nostalgia, and shared wonder. Every performance, every partnership, and every event we create is built with one goal in mind—to help people feel like they belong to something bigger and more magical than themselves.

We Build Community Through Imagination

We believe creativity is a powerful force for connection. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with theaters, schools, charities, libraries, companies, and local organizations to design events that inspire participation—not just passive watching. When people laugh together, sing together, solve puzzles together, or celebrate a beloved film together, community grows.

We Turn Beloved Stories Into Living Experiences

Our productions strive to make the impossible feel real. Through screen-accurate props, handcrafted costumes, immersive staging, and dedicated performance artistry, we transform familiar films and tales into experiences you can walk into, interact with, and remember for years.

We Believe Nostalgia Is a Beacon

Nostalgia is a kind of magic all its own. It grounds us, comforts us, and brings people from different generations to the same emotional place. We harness that power to create events that feel warm, welcoming, and timeless—reminding audiences of what they loved, and why they loved it.

We Perform With Purpose

Community support isn’t an afterthought for us—it’s part of our identity. From charity collaborations to large theater productions, from intimate pop-up appearances to fully staged immersive shows, we design each event to uplift the community it’s in, to draw people together, and to leave a positive impact long after the final bow.

Wandering Lantern Productions exists to build community through the magic of shared stories. Our vision is to keep imagination alive, to celebrate the wonder that connects us, and to create experiences where everyone—whether a lifelong fan or a first-time guest—feels like they’ve stepped into a world where they truly belong.
