Theater Updates

Attendance & Support

We need your support to keep Cornhusker Country Music Theater going! Attendance has been low, and we rely on show revenue to cover expenses. Please consider joining us at our events or making a donation. Every bit helps to keep our doors open!

Recent Meeting Highlights (10/21/24)

  • Fund Update:
    General fund: $4,089.14
    Building fund: $4,848.71
  • Old Business:
    • Free ads in the Cassogram (thanks, Addie!).
    • Exploring Bingo and QuickBooks options.
  • New Business:
    • The City of Louisville recently installed new handicapped parking spots that comply with federal and state regulations. Unfortunately, our original signs and designated spots do not meet these standards, so the City has required us to remove them. Please note that while these new spots are not directly in front of the theater, they are accessible for visitors needing them.
    • Fundraising events, including a craft fair, pie auction, and soup supper, are in the works.
    • We’re actively seeking grants for building improvements.
    • Judy Meyer resigned from the board. We thank her for her contributions.

Next Meeting: Discuss Bingo, QuickBooks options, and fundraising progress.
