What is Lincoln Theatre Company? The Lincoln Theatre Company has a talented Board of Directors and staff who know theater business. We have demonstrated the ability to bring a professional theater experience to Lincoln and its environs for the benefit of the entire community. We are about to conclude our tenth successful season of shows with the American classic, Death of a Salesman. We delighted our audiences with Titanic - the Musical, our popular LTC Cabaret, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, followed by the hilarious comedy, Noises Off.
Our 2025-2026 Season begins in the fall with an Tony Award winning musical comedy, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. We will feature the music of Rogers and Hammerstein in our annual Cabaret presentation. You'll next laugh at the cast's antics in the farcical Don't Dress For Dinner and finally, enjoy Neil Simon's dramatic comedy, Brighton Beach Memoirs.
Our 2025 Goal of $30,000 to Meet These Needs - After 10 years its time to replace and upgrade aging equipment needed to maintain and enhance your enjoyment. Current plans a call for replacing 14 channels of wireless microphone transmitters and receivers ($21,000), replacement and addition of l8 lighting fixtures with efficient color LED units ($10,000) and aquiring equipment supporting projected scenic backdrops, special effects and our growing box office and snack bar operation ($10,000).
Working to improve the Lincoln Civic Auditorium - Your support of Lincoln Theatre Company promotes city improvements in the Lincoln Civic Auditorium. By attending performances and providing financial support, you demonstrate the community's desire for local performing arts. This encourages the City of Lincoln, working with LTC, to continue investing in improvements to this historic performing arts center. For the 2024-2025 season, we facilitated the installation of a main curtain. We continue to work with the City on projects that include re-introduction of scenic projection capability, and initial steps toward installation of raised seating.
Looking toward the future - We envision a place where we can provide you with an outstanding theatrical experience. Is there such a place in Lincoln? There can be, but the cost of locating and evaluating such places is beyond our normal operating budget. Our development fund is growing and we are seeking grants and sponsorships. Your Big Day of Giving donations demonstrate that you support our efforts to get closer to our goal.
