History meets the spotlight!
It was such an honor to host auditions at our theater, with Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry all in attendance! The community was thrilled to welcome one of our own back to the theater, creating yet another unforgettable memory in our theater’s history.




Luke Bryan
History was made at J. Lane Theater when country superstar and American Idol judge Luke Bryan returned to his roots in South Georgia and brought the Idol crew with him! During the latest season’s auditions in Leesburg, Luke Bryan, proud of his hometown heritage, made a special stop at a venue close to his heart—the very stage where he once performed early in his career: J. Lane Theater.
From Luke Bryan’s heartfelt return to the excitement of contestants chasing their dreams, this moment underscores our theater’s legacy as a cultural hub for the region. Whether it’s live music, theatrical performances, or national television moments like this one, J. Lane Theater continues to be the stage where memories are made and stars are born.
