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, Brighton Beach Memoirs by Neil Simon. Earlier this season our audiences loved A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, our popular LTC Cabaret-style production of Rogers and Hammerstein music in A Grand Night for Singing. Our other non-musical production was the hilarious comedy, Don't Dress for Dinner.
Producing our 2026-2027 Season - We begin our new season this fall with a Tony Award-winning musical comedy, Bright Star, featuring an inventive score written by Steve Martin. For the holiday season, we'll present the popular family holiday classic, Miracle on 34th Street. Next, we are proud to offer what we believe will be the region's first community theater presentation of Come From Away, the heart-warming musical story about how the tiny population of Gander, Greenland welcomed and cared for thousands of travelers while all planes were grounded following the terrorist attacks on 9/11. We'll conclude the season with the hilarious British comedy, Calendar Girls, a heartwarming play based on a true story about Yorkshire Women’s Institute members who produce a risque' calendar to raise funds for a local hospital sofa after a friend's husband dies of leukemia.
Setting Our 2026 Goal of $35,000 to Meet These Needs - After 12 years its time to replace and upgrade aging equipment needed to maintain and enhance your enjoyment. Current plans call for replacing 12 more channels of wireless microphone transmitters and receivers ($20,000), and better equipping our popular snack bar operation ($5,000). Additionally, for each of the past 2 years, at least one of our season's musicals has been accompanied by a live orchestra, with paid musicians ($5,000). We wish to continue that with a goal to provide a live orchestra for the two musicals we will produce in the 2026-27 season. The live orchestra tremendously enhances the quality as well as our audience's enjoyment and experience of the productions.
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 2025-2026 season, we facilitated the City's installation 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.
Lincoln Theatre Company's mission is:
-To enhance arts and culture for the City of Lincoln and surrounding communities.
-To provide professional quality theater productions for audiences of all ages using age appropriate casting.
-To create an independent venue for Lincoln Theatre Company and other participating organizations.
