Backstage at the Lincoln's Fall Lineup Includes E-Flat Jazz Band & More

Backstage at the Lincoln, the Lincoln Theatre's intimate, local concert series, has scheduled three events for the fall. For the first time, one of the scheduled events will be a theatre production flanked by two jazz concerts. The Backstage at the Lincoln series offers concertgoers the extraordinary opportunity to be seated on stage with a featured local artist, providing an up-close-and-personal performance set against the hand-painted grandeur of the Lincoln's rare Egyptian Revival-style motif.
