Situated in the heart of Fort Collins, The Lincoln Center is the premier multi-venue performing and visual arts center in Northern Colorado. It was founded in 1978 through a community initiative called “Designing Tomorrow Today” that resulted in a voter-approved $2.2 million capital improvements tax, with the community raising an additional $300,000 to complete a new performing and visual arts center for Fort Collins. Today, The Lincoln Center is one of Colorado's largest and most diverse presenters of professional theatre, dance, music, comedy, visual arts, and children's programs. It is the largest Northern Colorado presenter of nationally touring performances including Broadway musicals and big-name acts. In addition, its community partners such as OpenStage Theatre, Canyon Concert Ballet, Larimer Chorale, The Fort Collins Symphony and Debut Theater help make The Lincoln Center a frequent gathering place for families and arts and culture lovers alike. Following an $8.4 million renovation in 2010, The Lincoln Center is refreshed, renewed and remarkable. The renovation and expansion focused on improving the patron experience, performer amenities, and infusing new life into this community treasure. Community members throughout Northern Colorado have been flocking to see the “new” Lincoln Center, which now features elegant and expanded lobbies, a new rooftop deck, several new and inviting bar spaces, a beautiful new art gallery and a start-of-the-art sound system. The Lincoln Center's Performance Hall is the venue of choice for large productions; ranging from fully staged theatrical performances to major meetings and presentations. The Performance Hall is a proscenium theatre with ample production and support space and top-of-the-line audience amenities. This 1,187-seat theatre features large private dressing rooms as well as a spacious lobby with a built-in bar for pre and post-event gatherings. The Performance Hall is used for productions by the Fort Collins Sympho
