One of only three existing Mayan Revival-style theatres in America - a product of the Art Deco age - Mr. Lincoln's "$150,000 theatre" is now a beautifully restored venue for live performances and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed to resemble an ancient Mayan temple, exotic representations of mythological gods and creatures adorn the ceilings and walls. Murals depicting American and local history also line the concert hall.
While restored to its former grandeur, the theatre is now fully accentuated by state-of-the-art computerized sound and lighting systems. Both a presenting organization and a programming facility, The Lincoln Theatre features a year-round program of performing arts events, and is also available as a rental venue to professional touring companies, individual artists and regional groups.
The Lincoln Theatre, a Virginia Historic Landmark, is a member of the National League of Historic Theatres. The theatre is located at 117 E. Main St. in Historic Marion, VA, just off Interstate 81 at Exit 45.
