Big Ideas,
Real Impact.
Your support keeps the curtain rising! Kings Mountain Little Theatre (KMLT) is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit community theater dedicated to bringing live performances, youth education, and cultural enrichment to Kings Mountain and beyond. Operating the historic Joy Performance Center and the Liberty Mountain Garden, we produce a full season of plays, musicals, special events, summer camps, and the annual outdoor drama "Liberty Mountain."
As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community—through ticket sales, memberships, sponsorships, donations, and in-kind contributions—to cover production costs, facility maintenance, youth programs, and more. Your gift is tax-deductible and directly helps us continue creating magic on stage!
