KMLT Mission Statement: The stated purpose of the organization is the experimental study and repertory presentation of both tried and untried dramatic works and associated arts by the establishment and operation of an educational non-profit community theatre. The organization is committed to the operation of the Joy Performance Center and the Liberty Mountain Garden as its primary home and as multi-purpose venues for additional events, with reasonable rental rates to diverse individuals and groups.

Let’s break it down: The organization exists to provide a community theater where people can learn, create, and perform. It presents a mix of well-known plays and new, original works, while also supporting related arts such as music, dance, and visual design. As a nonprofit educational organization, its goal is to enrich the community through theater, creativity, and learning.
