The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities has finally selected a contractor to take over operations of the woebegone Lincoln Theatre. But it’s a secret.

The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities took many questions but gave few answers about the future of the Lincoln Theatre last night.

The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities threw open today its search for the next person or organization that would like a crack at running the Lincoln Theatre.

In its fiscal 2013 budget introduced yesterday, the D.C. Council increased the amount allocated to the District’s Commission on the Arts and Humanities by $6.8 million, pushing funding for that agency to its highest level since 2009.
