An annual membership that pays you back at the door. Friends receive movie passes and tickets to live events, and the good seats of knowing you're why the marquee's on.

The city owns the building. You keep it lit.
The LanTex has no paid staff, just Llano Main Street volunteers and local non-profits who sell the popcorn, patch the plaster, and keep a 1927 single-screen house open in a world that closed nearly all the others. Every membership, sponsorship, and shift behind the stand goes straight to that work.

Put Your Name on Screen
Business sponsors see their name on the big screen before every show, movies and Opry nights alike, in front of the fullest room in Llano twice a month.

Work the Stand
Two shifts a month, a movie and an Opry, plus the odd paintbrush day. Concessions are staffed entirely by volunteers, and the crew always has room for one more.
Raise Your HandWHERE THE POPCORN MONEY GOES
Every $4 bag does preservation work
Concession sales supplement historical preservation projects and promotion across the courthouse historic district. Volunteer hands and popcorn money have already:
- repainted the interior to its original 1927 design
- repaired the stage and renovated the balcony
- replaced 400 half-century-old seats, adding ADA spaces and wider aisles
- next up: armrest cup holders and numbered seats, as funds allow
