Attendance
Attendance
We would like to strongly encourage all members who are capable of attending our shows to do so.. Attendance has been poor and our expenses are far outweighing our income that we get from our shows..
In the event this does not happen we may have to close our doors in the near future.
Donations are also an option if you are so inclined.
Donations may be sent to
Cornhusker Country Music Theater.
PO Box 42
Louisville Ne 68037.
We would really hate to see this venue close. This nonprofit organization has been operating since 1976. It is one of the last venues to host classic Country Music in the State of Ne as well as the entire nation.
Help us fight to keep our theater open so we can provide entertainment for those who wish to attend these events..
Bring a friend to a show with you.. You could also encourage them to buy a membership which is ONLY $10 per year single membership and $12 per year for a family membership.
Thank You.

Monthly Meeting Topics of disscussion
The Board voted on and approved an ASCAP license that will fill the needs of the Theater that will expand the music we can play.
Altho Classic Country is still basically the music that we welcome anytime, we will be able to play newer Country than just 3 decades old.
We are having difficulty trying to get crowds in the theater for the shows. It could also help to expand our membership.
It is our hope that this could help to solve this problem.
The cost to the club for this license is $154 per year.
Benefit.
Plans for a Benefit for tornado victims here in Nebraska is being planned for June 8th
We would like to run this Benefit from 1 PM to 10PM on that date.
Of course bands are needed and lots of musicians in the past have stepped up to help people in need, from disasters to single families in need of medical assistance.. We hope those good hearts are still out there wanting to help.
Monthly Meeting Day
It was voted and approved to move the monthy meeting day to the third Monday of the month, due to too many conflicts with the last monday of the month, along with how it falls on the calander at times with the last monday of the month.
This will also get the newsletter out in a more timely fashion.
