Lamb's Players grew out of a drama class project at Bethel College in St. Paul, MN. The company was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1971 by Steve Terrell, a professor of drama at the college, and one of his students, Glen "Herbie" Hansen. The small troupe put together a Street Theatre production call "The Hound of Everyman", a contemporary comedy that used the form and costumes of the medieval morality plays.
