The Washington Post: The historic Lincoln Theatre is on the verge of closing, unless it is offered a $500,000 bailout by the D.C. Council. The theater has been on the brink of closing before. Officials were set to announce it was closing this summer, but the city provided $250,000 in last-minute funding. It was the second close call in recent years; Lincoln nearly closed in 2007, but was given a $200,000 grant by the D.C. government to keep the doors open. The theater’s annual budget is about $1.2 million.
