SPEND A WEEK CELEBRATING THE LINCOLN THEATRE'S 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
On April 21, 1926, the Lincoln Theatre opened its doors to the public with a grand celebration of the acts that would follow: the song and dance of live vaudeville performers, cartoons, and a feature length silent film accompanied by a rollicking score played on the Mighty Wurlitzer. And 100 years later, we're bringing you a weekend full of special events that hearken back to a century ago!

Sunday, April 26 sees a continuation of our Lincoln Theatre Birthday Party tradition of showing a silent film with a live score -- for the opening night price of 35¢! This year, we're showing one of the greatest comedies of the silent era: Buster Keaton's The General, complete with 1926 cartoon shorts and news reels, with live "trad jazz" music score accompaniment by Karen and the K-Kats, and incorporating that same Wurlitzer organ that played for our first film back in 1926. Guests are encouraged to don their best Roaring '20s garb and join us for our 100th birthday party (complete with free cake)!
