Who we are

The Lundstrum Center is a group of "seasoned" musical theater professionals teaching and inspiring young artists through their craft. Five members of this veteran group are the Casserly sisters, who inherited the Lundstrum Center (Legacy) in a "will."

We are a community school that teaches musical theater technique in systematic and integrated curriculum of voice, dance and drama. We love what we do and feel compelled to give back to the craft that has given so much to us. As artists we know that beauty, discipline and expression are ageless qualities that leave a lasting impression on a child's spirit.

The Lundstrum Center for the Performing Arts has and will continue to enrich and improve the community it serves. We believe we have a unique niche as well as brand in the arts community.

Broadway to West Broadway

Drawing on both established and blossoming relationships with major artists in New York's Broadway scene the Lundstrum Center continues to foster a unique and unparalleled connection to the country's center of musical theatre. It is with this crucial relationship that Lundstrum Center aspires to become a world-class training center for those with Broadway ambitions. The opportunities this Broadway to Broadway network affords are truly invaluable to a largely underserved and overlooked community.

Our Values

Continuing in the tradition of our founder Dorothy Lundstrum, our guiding principles:

• Respect the dignity of the individual
• True beauty is a reflection of God, it is uplifting and comes from within
• Our philosophy is: I am, I can, I will
• Nurture children in mind, body and spirit to release their artistic capacity

Our Logo

The Lundstrum logo was inspired by Lois and Dorothy's teaching philosophy. It was originally designed by Cindy Olson. We imagined a joyful child with arms reaching upwards toward the light, reflecting the joyful spirit and beauty of youth and innocence. The three rings surrounding the figure reflect the disciplines of our musical theatre curriculum -- dance, voice and drama -- but also reflect our holistic approach toward an artist's development in body, mind and spirit:
"I am, I can, I will."
