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.
Bands Needed.
As Always we are looking for bands to perform at the Theater
If anyone knows of any bands that would like to donate an evening of their time to come and put on a show, then please encourage them to do so.. just remind them that we are non profit. It is very unfortunate at this time that we are unable to pay bands, due to low attendance. That has been low since covid began in 2019
We also welcome duet acts, and solo acts.. If they wish we can try and provide back up music for anyone that wishes to come and put on a show..
This is something that is ongoing with the Theater.. Bands will always be needed.. so if you know of a band or hear of a Band, Get our contact information to them so they can be recruited for our shows.. Thank You.
Bands may now go to our new website
