Lincoln Theatre
The neoclassical-style theater was commissioned and operated by local theater magnate Harry Crandall and designed by architect Reginald Geare.
The Lincoln Theatre, built in 1922, was a cultural center of D.C., predating and influencing Harlem’s renaissance. Washington natives Duke Ellington and Pearl Bailey were joined by nationally acclaimed artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Nat King Cole, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, and Sarah Vaughn who performed regularly on the storied stage. President Franklin D. Roosevelt celebrated his birthday parties at the Lincoln Colonnade, a party hall once located at the Theatre.
We have some light fare and snacks for sale in the theatre. We have a selection of beer and wine along with your favorite spirits and non-alcoholic beverages.
