Indianapolis (Feb. 16, 2022) ? The Indiana General Assembly recently presented two resolutions commemorating the Lincoln Amphitheatre?s 35th?anniversary year of serving Hoosiers and out-of-state guests with entertainment and educational opportunities.

Located in Lincoln City, the Lincoln Amphitheatre is one of the largest roofed amphitheaters in the nation with a capacity of more than 1,500 guests. The venue first opened in 1987 inside of Lincoln State Park amongst the woods where Abraham Lincoln spent his most formative and foundational years (age 7-21). Today, in addition to an annual summer Lincoln theatrical production, the Lincoln Amphitheatre hosts a diverse variety of musical acts ranging from rock and roll, country, classical and more.

State Sen. Mark Messmer (R-Jasper) authored Senate Resolution 24 and House Resolution 14 was offered by State Rep. Steve Bartels (R-Eckerty). Both resolutions were presented to Lincoln Amphitheatre Director Marc Steczyk and Indiana Destination Development Corporation Secretary and CEO Elaine Bedel.

?As we prepare to kick off the 2022 performance series in May, we have a tremendous line-up scheduled and are excited to welcome back visitors to the Lincoln Amphitheatre,?
