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.
We are unable to pay bands at this time because of our low amount of income. This makes it difficult to obtain bands. Please tell your friends about us.. and if you can your attendance would be appreciated.
Donations may be sent to
Cornhusker Country Music Theater.
