The Lakewood Theater is situated among white birch and stately pines along the western shoreline of Showhegan’s Wesserunsett Lake. Boasting the title of the most famous and oldest summer theater in the United States, as well as the “State Theater of Maine,” the Lakewood Theater has a very long tradition, a steadfast endurance, and a deep sentiment that has led to putting on performances for more than one hundred seasons. Since the year 1901, this summer theater has been providing excellent performances of children’s shows, musicals, dramas, and comedies from late May until the middle of September.
