Theatre Royal Lincoln

Regular readers of the Journal may remember that back on 3 February we championed the cause of the Theatre Royal Lincoln, by reporting that this wonderful little theatre came close to closing this year. We published an open letter circulated by Chris Moreno, Managing Director, highlighting the plight of the theatre following the withdrawal of financial support by Lincoln City Council. Obviously, the theatre's future existence depends on it getting strong support from the local theatre-going community. This coming Friday and Saturday 27/28 February the Royal puts on a cracking production of a show that will appeal to all the family. 'Calamity Jane', starring Leah Bell and full Company, is one of the all time great musicals and appeals to an audience spanning generations. This high-energy, toe-tapping and thigh slapping musical includes legendary songs such as 'The Deadwood Stage', 'The Windy City', 'Secret Love', 'The Black Hills Of Dakota' and many more. So, if you fancy a Rootin', Tootin', Shootin' night out, take yourself off to the Theatre Royal, have a great night of live entertainment, and possibly help the Royal in it's fight for survival. YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA!
