The theater opened in 1996 with a student performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Mrs. Lehman also developed the Annual Children's Theater, which in 20 years has seen its audience grow from 500 to 6,000. In 1992, Mrs. Lehman adapted "Walls," her autobiographical novel about the plight of Jews in Nazi Germany, into a play.
