The London Frontier Theatre

“Small-house, experimental theatre at its best” was a reviewer’s accolade soon after the theatre was founded in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1991. Magdalena’s resident theatre since 1996, LFTC creates and presents a wide variety of plays, adapted to its Western setting, from original scripts, ensemble work, and adaptations of literary classics and contemporary writings, incorporating the area's vivid multi-cultural history to create exciting, entertaining theatre. Presentations are at Magdalena’s historic WPA Gym, which LFTC is in the process of purchasing–a permanent home for London Frontier Theatre Company.

P.O. Box 1126
Magdalena, NM 87825.
