Big Lake Community Theater
Tiny Tomato Theater began in 2022 as the dream of a young director, Lizzie Knapp, in Elk River, Minnesota. Since then, we’ve brought five summer shows to the stage and watched our young performers grow in confidence, character, and talent.
In fall 2026, we saw a chance to share that joy with a whole new community. Big Lake Community Theater was born as a program of Tiny Tomato Theater, open to performers ages 8 to 108. Our first show, Anne of Green Gables, opens May 2027!
There’s a place for you in this next act. Join us on stage, build sets, run lights and sound, help with costumes, hair, and makeup, or lend a hand at rehearsals. And if you’d like to help raise the curtain, a gift of any size helps bring this first season to life.
We can’t wait to meet you!
We’d love to hear from you
