Built in 1921 and hosting such African American performers as Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Lena Horne, this opulent 1,200 seat theater is recapturing its prominence as a major performing arts center since its recent historic restoration. The Lincoln features family-friendly programming such as Dance Africa, the Smithsonian Jazz Master Works Orchestra, and Sweet Honey in the Rock's annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. While in this multi-cultural neighborhood, you won't want to miss this theater. This restored theater opened in 1924. The building features an incredible marble and gilt lobby and auditorium.
