I'm just so SORRY we paid to go to another "musical" here! Like EVERY other time the Orchestra was so terribly loud i (and mediocre) it was IMPOSSIBLE to understand any of the lyrics and dialog. "Legally Blonde " sounded like a bunch of women SCREECHING at the top of their lungs! Very Very disappointing, yet this venue continues to disappoint on a large scale! SHAME ON THEM, Unfortunately we weren't even seated near the Orchestra. Typically an Orchestra is in the "pit", where it doesn't Drown out everything else. Very, very disappointing, the Sound Tech's were unable to monitor the problem, but seemed emphatic and aware of the problem! Yet they continue to dissapoint. read more

I recently went to a music show (Al Stewart) in this historic theatre. It was a very nice size for live entertainment. The sound system was nice. I enjoyed the laid-back vibe put forth by the staff. I think the only place they might improve is ventilation. It got too warm, and there wasn't much air movement. I would definitely return. It's difficult to find a nice venue with good shows in an area where there are no crowds and it's easy to park. This place has that and a great history. read more

No air conditioning! Went to see sold-out Paula Poundstone, who was great, but sat near the back and nearly collapsed from the stuffy air and oppresive heat. Also, there are no side exits, only two near the stage and two to the lobby, and the two to the lobby only allow two bodies width to exit down a long narrow passageway. My wive and I were both afraid that should there be a fire or other emergency, people would die trying to get out. Never again, even for great shows read more

Our first time to the theater was alright. The old surroundings were cool but the seats really needed to be upgraded. Nostalgia only goes so far. We saw the Crash test dummies. The show was so so. Not sure that their hearts were in it like they could be. They were not an entertaining group and seemed to be just going through the motions except for three or four songs. Big warning about the concessions! It has the worst popcorn I have ever paid for. The cheapest approach possible and it was a total waste of money. The water was not chilled either. Maybe they were going for the 100 year old flavor? We will probably go again for a show of some kind but we will take our own popcorn if we want any be prepared for the seating. We were next to people who were up and down constantly and we had to get out of our seats and go to the end of the isle because the rows were so close together also. Cool but very uncomfortable! read more

This was my first time going to the Lincoln Theater, I went to see the Epic Queen concert. The theater staff was very helpful and cheerful, the seats were comfortable and the lights and sound system were outstanding. I will definitely be watching for future shows to see there. read more

I'm a sucker for old timey movie houses, and Mount Vernon's Lincoln Theater certainly is a jewel of the Skagit Valley. Around since the 1920s, this theater comes from a time of old, but it is beautifully kept. At the entrance there's an old Ticket Window/kiosk, but you buy your tickets inside. In the lobby there is a cool little dvd rental store. Looks like they had some cool independent options on most of the shelves here. (you can also buy a T-shirt here as well). Inside the theater is where it's at though. They have an organ front and center, and they have someone play before movies if you're lucky to catch that. The theater is HUGE and there is plenty of seating (no balcony though) :( You really have to admire the decor inside. I caught a showing of the Robert Redford sailing movie All Is Lost here. It isn't a first-run show (think it came out a couple months ago), but it's one of those non-mainstream shows, and you have to give kudos for Lincoln for showing it. A quick glance of the crowd displayed more of the blue-haired variety (older folks have good taste!). One woman sitting in front of me was knitting something while watching the movie. And while the movie I watched was quiet and had minimal dialog, there were no pesky loud people talking during the movie (a pet peeve of mine), so we have excellent patrons here. If you're in the area, drop on by and tell 'em Corey sent ya! read more

Here is my 1st hand experience - your fundraising event admission was insanely expensive for a place like Mount Vernon. I believe it was $40 to come in. And then you pay extra inside. read more

Beautiful theatre. Well put together. Rude concession staff. Poor customer service. First and last visit.

This elegant movie theater captures Hollywood glamor from the past. Our seats lacked cup holders however. My husband and I went for an event showcasing Viva farms and got to sample delicious beers from the Brewing program and local ciders. We also watched a documentary about the farm enjoyed a question and answer forum. The Lincoln Theater was such an incredible venue for the event. Definitely will go back to see a movie soon. The theater sells artwork from local artists in a small gallery towards the front and boasts an impressive looking snack bar. read more

Beautiful historic theater on Main Street in Mount Vernon. Ample free parking on the street or the Skagit Riverwalk. Get there early and listen to live organ music while you wait for your movie to run. The sound was excellent. Make a night of it by beginning with dinner and drinks in one of the local restaurants. Great evening. read more

Bathroom review: This is a very old building. 100 years. The bathroom, though, is neat! There's a well-marked hallway to the Men's bathroom directly next to the old-fashioned concession stand. Neato! Inside, the bathroom is well-lit, comfortable, and spacious. There are two stalls - one much larger, for handicap access (with an interesting side/secondary door). The stalls looked totally decked out, with handles, wall tile, and seat covers. There are two urinals, with no divider between them. One slightly lower than the other. But just slightly. The sink area is magnificent. There's a HUGE, ornate mirror running the entire sink-length. Reminds me of an old dressing room. Everything worked, inside, and I loved the decorations, including the framed movie poster on the wall for "A Thin Red Line." 5/5, easily. read more

A lovely vintage theater house with an original Wurlitzer organ! I was fortunate enough to stumble into a tour of the theater during the street fair and am grateful. There was a friendly, knowledgeable gentleman telling the theater history and explaining all about the Wurlitzer organ. When Lincoln Theatre first opened back in 1926, it was showing silent films, and this Wurlitzer organ created all of the music and sound effects for them. I got to play the magnificent vintage organ and try all of the sound effects, I was geeking out hard, it's not something I will forget. Many thanks to the kind tour guide in the theater during the tulip festival street fair! read more

I love this place. Parking is easy within a couple of blocks and the sound quality is very good. You can get popcorn at the concession stand and wine in the "Art Bar." We saw Lulo Reinhardt and 3 other guitarists. Wonderful. Too bad the crowd was almost totally grey hairs. read more

This gem of a theater dates back to 1926. It's been nicely restored, and the movies are geared to a smart, grown-up audience. It's a lovely space; there's even an old Wurlitzer organ still in use. Great place to catch a movie or show. read more
