Live Theatre Bringing Local History to Life - Celebrating our 20th year in 2023
The Rotary Club of Lincoln’s “Lamplighter Tour” is committed to building economic development through culture, showcasing local talent, history, and heritage sites.The many hours of practice, rehearsing lines, learning the moves of the characters all came together on October 12, 13, 14 and 15th. The walking tour began over 4 days and the efforts of over 100 volunteers culminated together, in what can be called the “ultimate team experience” to create what is known as the “Lamplighter Tour”.

This year’s production “Moses, The Mayor, and The Medics” introduces Moses Rittenhouse, Mayor Gladys Huffman, Nursing Sister Lena Davis, and Dr. Arthur Addy as true Lincoln Trailblazers! It was a huge success where many in the community lived through the experiences of these trailblazers with 4 plays performed at historical venues in Jordan Village.Many thanks to the writers, production team, actors and volunteers that made the tour a success once again.
This is a major fundraiser for the club and thanks also must be given to our sponsors and community supporters.
