Lincoln Community Theatre makes grand return with musical performances this weekend

[July 17, 2015]  LINCOLN - It is well-known that the Lincoln and Logan County community is particularly endowed with performance talent. Some of that influence came about through decades of two colleges, Lincoln Christian University and Lincoln College, offering fine arts performance degrees. The educational institutions have drawn teachers into the community with exceptional performance arts skills. As generations of talented families, who also honed those in the community into performance skills, our community became a composite of members with passion and skill in performance.

For many decades the area benefited from summer season productions directed and performed by area talent participating in Lincoln Community Theatre.

Sadly, the loss of several leaders in this circle led to a lapse of several seasons since the last LCT performance.

Now, through the interest of about 50 talented and dedicated residents, summer-time live performance will once again strike its place on the stage of the Johnston Center for Performing Arts on Lincoln College campus.

This weekend's LCT performances are the resurgence of an amazing talent base and great performances. "LCT an Encore!" will feature great music and performances directed by Tim Searby.

LCT an Encore! will include the greatest songs from past productions and music from shows yet to be produced.

While there is NO CHARGE for tickets to the performances scheduled on Friday, July 17 (all seats reserved) and Saturday, July 18 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, July 19 at 2:00 p.m., attendees are asked to give generously to bring back future seasons of LCT.

You are invited to get out of the heat, and come enjoy and support the future of Lincoln Community Theatre this weekend. Your participation and generous donation will make a difference for the future of this fine organization.
