Give to Lincoln Day 2026

The Lied Center is Nebraska’s cultural heartbeat — bringing world-class performances and arts education to Lincoln and communities across the state. Your gift to Friends of Lied during Give to Lincoln Day (May 1–28, 2026) helps keep ticket prices accessible and supports life-changing artistic encounters with students. From the thrilling rhythms of Riverdance and the wonder of Magic Rocks to the laugh-out‑loud mystery of CLUE, the heartwarming joy of Mamma Mia, the transformative power of Hamilton, and the down‑home fun of Shucked, the Lied Center offers something for everyone. Donate today to ensure these stories and experiences continue to inspire generations!
