Lincoln Children’s Theatre is excited to begin their first official summer as Lincoln Children’s Theatre (formerly Theatre Arts for Kids). Here is a list of some of the top shows coming to a stage near you.

We’d like to introduce you to a friend of ours. His name is Land Phil, and he lives on Bluff Road in Lincoln. He’s big (171 acres as a matter of fact. But, hey, who’s counting?). He needs constant care to stay tidy. Above all, he does a heap of good for our community, and we could do some things that would make his life a whole lot better.

Food Fort is a local nonprofit celebrating 10 years of serving Lincoln youth and families. Food Fort focuses on food security and use food as a way to build something deeper: relationships with youth who may not otherwise have consistent support in their lives. 

As summer kicks into full swing, we asked a few Lincoln kids what they’re looking forward to most. From favorite snacks and ways to stay cool, to vacation plans and imaginary playgrounds, their answers offer a glimpse of the season through their eyes.

If you love gathering with family and friends to enjoy amazing music, then mark your calendar and make plans to attend some of Lincoln’s summer concert series! Be sure to visit websites listed as schedules are subject to change.

We caught up with local firefighter Brady Studnicka to find out. The job is full of excitement and surprises as you might’ve imagined! Each morning starts with a team meeting at the station. Brady and his crew go over important updates and get ready for whatever might come their way that day.

Grammar helps you share your thoughts clearly and confidently. When you learn about grammar now, it gets easier to explain your ideas, understand what you read, and talk with others.
