Lincoln Community Theatre to present midwinter cabaret

[January 11, 2020]   LINCOLN - The days of dreaming of warmer summer weather may be fewer than you think. Lincoln Community Theatre, which normally conducts a 3-show live theatre summer, is adding a treat to warm you up this winter - A Midwinter Night’s Dream: A Musical Dessert Cabaret.

The LCT Board of Directors will host guests at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7 and Saturday, Feb. 8 at the St. John United Church of Christ Fellowship hall for an evening of musical numbers from past, present and future shows at LCT.

Tim Searby is directing the cabaret, which will include great music from last summer shows including original cast members from “A Grand Night for Singing” and “Shrek the Musical.”

The show will be filled with exciting music from previous years, upcoming seasons, shows we hope to produce and some of the wonderful standards from Broadway history (including music from “Hairspray,” “The Music Man,” “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Porgy and Bess,” “Chicago,” and this upcoming season’s “1940s Radio Hour” and “Into the Woods” among others).

Tables will be set and laden with delicious local desserts, sparkling grape juice, coffee and water for theatre goers to enjoy during the cabaret.

Seating is limited and all tickets must be purchased in advance. To purchase tickets, go to www.lincolncommunity theatre.org 

LCT looks forward to meeting the many requests for an event outside the summer months and we hope this warms you up and fits the bill.
