Shingle Tree

You know all those people that say money doesn't grow on trees? You may even be one of them. Well, I have to say that shingles are growing on trees here at the amphitheatre.



Okay, so maybe the tree didn't really grow shingles and they are from the new roof that is being put on, but you were impressed for a little while right?

While pushing the old shingles off the building, these few just happened to lodge in the tree branches which I found entertaining. Doesn't take much to entertain me obviously. Maybe there's hope for a money tree yet!

Our name is LincolnAmphithe and you can read and respond to our tweets which include updates and happenings at the amphitheatre.

I have to say ... I think I may already be addicted to it!

Merry Christmas

I hope you and your families had a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Merry Christmas to all ...

... and to all a good night!

The Countdown

Only two days left until the big day! I have to confess that I'm as excited as a little kid. I've always loved Christmas.

I'm sure at this very moment my husband is racing around trying to find a suitable gift for me. Even though this year I made a list for him ... it even had a star system as to which gifts I wanted most. I even had a few Lincoln items on my wish list ... some Lincoln books that I've had my eye on for my growing collection. Maybe he'll get those.

I'll report back after the holidays to let you know if I got anything on the list. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

We're Cool!

And I don't even mean the temperature. Although this morning it was a balmy 8 degrees at my house. I mean the town of Lincoln City is cool! A national travel magazine is taking nominations for "America's Coolest Small Towns."

I have to say ... I think the town of Lincoln City, Indiana, where Lincoln spent fourteen years, is the coolest small town in my book. Check out their website to view other submitted cool towns! Please feel free (and by that I mean you'd better) to leave a comment to say how cool you think Lincoln City is! Voting will start on February 2. Don't worry ... I'll remind you to head over and vote! I mean, seriously ... it's Lincoln's boyhood home ... what is cooler than that?!

LINCOLN Billboard

We've been working on a billboard that will feature our new production of LINCOLN. The new billboard is up! While I was in Rockport a few days ago I crossed the Natcher Bridge into Kentucky to snap a quick photo of it.



In case you are wondering ... no, I did not take this while driving. I parked off the side of the road and turned on the caution lights. Gotta be safe.

O Christmas Tree ...

This past weekend we went to pick out our Christmas tree. Tuesday morning it was still sitting in the driveway. We just hadn't gotten a chance to lug the thing into the family room. So Tuesday night we got it into the stand, stood it up in the garage and took a good look. After this my husband promptly said "I don't think it is going to fit." And of course it didn't fit where I had envisioned it. So we improvised and moved it to another wall.

Moral of the story ... get a smaller tree. Even if you have a cathedral ceiling the tree of your dreams just may not fit. Or our case it fits, but we can't have a tree topper.

We have a little Christmas tree here at the amphitheatre. It's a fiber optic table top tree that spins. Very cute. I think that may be the way to go.
