[June 27, 2025]  Lincoln Community Theatre (LCT) will be presenting its first show of the 2025 summer season this weekend. Audiences are invited to enjoy Musicville, LCT’s youth workshop musical. Directed by veteran thespian and theater director Cari Wilmert, Musicville features 35 local children and teens in this musical adventure created by Beat by Beat Press. Wilmert is enthusiastic about these young performers and this show stating, “I’m very excited to be directing this fun musical!”

On their quest to the Castle of Composition, they pass through the Desert of Doo-wop, the Ocean of Opera, and the Terrible Terrain of Tango meeting musical friends and foes along the way. Their journey teaches them about new kinds of music, overcoming obstacles, and the importance of working together!”
