LINCOLN Set Installation
Here's a photo slideshow of the LINCOLN set installation. They are making great progress. I think it changes on an hourly basis!
What's this ...?
When I walked out the door a few days ago and saw this interesting arrangement, I couldn't resist snapping a shot.
A new way to eat your lunch? No, that can't be it. How would you keep your drink from spilling?
Perhaps, a new element that goes with our LINCOLN pre-show ... some type of frontier shelter? Hmmm ... that's not it either.
And then it hit me ... obviously the Lincoln State Park staff had pressure washed the picnic area (squeaky clean) and I suppose this is the best way to stack those babies! Who knew?

New York, New York!
This morning our executive producer, Steve, took off for New York. Hudson Scenic in New York is in the final stages of constructing our set for LINCOLN. Steve is there with our scenic designer and they going to work out all the kinks and then the set will be on it's way here!
Here's a slideshow of images from the design of the set. I'll send more once I have updated photos from Steve's trip. Maybe I'll even upload a video or two!

Volunteer Party!
Last Friday we held a volunteer party. It was an opportunity for those who have expressed interest in being a volunteer for LINCOLN to ask some questions about duties and eat some yummy food!
We had quite a turn out ... lots of people interested in volunteering their time for such a fun project! We are searching for folks that could be ushers, parking attendants, ticket takers, concession workers and so on. If you're interested contact Eric Altheide, our managing director, by emailing him at eric@lincolnamphitheatre.com or by calling 800-264-4223. We can always use a few more good soldier!
