The rebirth of the historic Lincoln Theater has been years in the making, but the end is finally in sight. In three short months, the final construction will be completed for a grand opening scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend.
The 574-seat theater is being beautifully restored and updated with a larger stage, modern sound and lighting equipment, and a grand new entrance on the side of the building that includes an overlooking balcony reception area.
The second floor houses a rehearsal/reception area that will host both public and private events. This space includes another overlooking balcony, second small stage, and bar area. It will be available for booking private events such as wedding receptions, fundraisers and galas.
The third floor is home to the new Jazz Academy, a one-of-a-kind instructional and educational space that will host music workshops, provide music recording opportunities, and classes aimed a variety of skill levels and age groups.
The following photos were taken this morning (construction was going on, so you can actually see a lot of dust particles in some photos). Stay tuned for more as the opening date nears.
