Historic Lincoln Theatre

Opened on October 6, 1921 with four acts of vaudeville and a silent movie, "The Old Nest", the Lincoln Theatre soon became the premier theatre in all of southern Illinois. Today the theatre can be seen much like it was in the 1920's. Its was lovingly restored by Richard Wright from 1980 till 2000. One can still feel that awe and majesty of Southern Illinois’ greatest vaudeville house. Today the current owners, Sandy and Dave Schoenborn, the daughter and son-in-law of Richard continue the tradition of the Lincoln. First run Hollywood films are featured daily along with the Lincoln's award winning popcorn and other great concessions.
