Lincoln voted Best Theatre by Cascadia Weekly readers

Submitted by roger on Thursday, Apr 15, 12:04 pm

According to Cascadia Weekly:

"When it comes to entertainment, voters made it clear Mount Vernon's Lincoln Theatre is the place they go. While it's cool that the restored vaudeville house (circa 1926) is a living piece of history, it's probably the fact they can see regional theatre. nationally lauded musical acts like the Wailin' Jennys, and both contemporary and classic films at the eye-cathching space that keeps them coming back."

We couldn't have put it better ourselves. Thanks to all of our patrons who voted!

Submitted by roger on Tuesday, Dec 29, 3:00 pm

Happy New Year! As we enter 2010, you will notice some changes to the format of our Lincoln guide. Most notably, we have moved to a two-month printed schedule of events, and will begin booking our films on a week-to-week basis, as other theatres do. While I acknowledge this is quite a change from the past, I want to tell you how this benefits the organization and you, the patron:

The Met: Live in HD preparations

Submitted by roger on Saturday, Aug 22, 8:52 am

Our projectionist, David Austin, and I have been busy installing the satelite equipment needed for broadcasting the Metropolitan Opera season which begins October 9th.

The first step after receiving the hardware was to install the hard drives and receivers in our projection booth.

We then hauled the satelite dishes up the side of the building, 32 cinder blocks up an interior ladder, assembled the dishes on the roof, and weighted down the tracks that the dishes are attached to.
