I just love the Omaha community Playhouse! Productions are always first rate. The facility is located just north of Dodge and East of 72nd St. Founded nearly 100 years ago there is a tremendous momentum to support up-and-coming individuals that are interested in theater and an ongoing entrepreneurial spirit, supporting diversity and community initiatives by the cast and crew alike. Theater classes are available along with internships. Kudos to all the individuals that make this possible including the generous benefactors. We enjoyed the last of the 2022/2023 season show, called Respect which focused on the women, their music, and their stories over the past half century. Such talent in Omaha is just amazing! The theater itself offers complementary off street parking but it can be tight particularly if there's more than one event scheduled for the evening so prepare accordingly. Convenient drop off at the door for folks needing special assistance is also a plus. The lobby area has Will Call , coat check, along with a full bar for your convenience.Tickets previously purchased through TicketOmaha will be changing in the not too distant future, and I would encourage that you stick for the moment to the paper tickets and pick them up at will call as there seems to be some IT connectivity issues within the theater that prevent you from bringing up your electronic tickets, sometimes! Luckily, Will Call will print out your tickets if you have the pertinent information associated with the purchase. I would add that the seating configuration hasn't changed to keep up with taller people and might be something they need to consider for future renovations.2023/2024 season sales are just beginning and are available either at the theater or online. Check out the shows that run from late fall through middle of next summer. Home of such famous individuals include Henry Fonda, Marlon Brando, and many others. Highly recommend you check out this wonderful asset in the community, which is rated one of the best in the country.

We just saw Beautiful-Music of Carol King. A fantastic production that rivals many professional productions and outshines many professional productions. The theater is well maintained, comfortable seats, easy access to restroom, excellent sound system , and a fantastic orchestra and conductor. The people working there are very very friendly and knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed every minute. We will definitely be coming back.

I absolutely love the Playhouse! The shows continue to impress and I am so excited for the 2023 season. The staff is efficient and courteous- I always have to go to the ticket window before entering as I generally have a voucher and have never been stressed about the time it takes. I am so grateful for such impressive community theatre in the metro!

I had the good fortune to see two shows this fall, one in each theater. Of course "A Christmas Carol" is an Omaha staple, an annual tradition for many, and had been on my bucket list for years. This year I finally took the plunge catching the matinée on opening weekend. I was worried that the balcony seats wouldn't be that great but they were perfect. We had no trouble hearing or seeing the action on the stage. It is a long play, clocking in at over 2 hours with a short intermission. We got there early to get a decent parking spot and had no difficulty when leaving. The playhouse was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees for the season. Cast members hung around in the lobby afterwards chatting with people and posing for pictures. I also attended the popular interactive Beatles tribute, "Yesterday & Today", on the smaller Howard Drew stage which seats about 200 but again, not a bad seat in the house. This is the 11th year for this show led by Billy McGuigan, his two brothers and a few other talented musicians. Fantastic show and experience! This is a must-see for people of all ages who even remotely like The Beatles' music.

Nun on the stage kept making fun of my mother, "was that a man or woman" that just spoke.. It was bad enough that my mother ran into individuals at Chicago O'Hare who told her they were absolutely pissed about the entire thing.

This playhouse is awesome. The cast is amazing and so is the conductor. We come to the Christmas Carol every year and it never disappoints!

Bridges of Madison county Fabulous. What an exceptional theater. Thomas Gjere did a wonderful job in his lead part of Robert. Back drop & lighting very professional Musicians, Top notch! Drew you into the story line. Bravo!!

We have seen 3 productions at the Omaha Community Playhouse and all were excellent! They rival professional/Broadway productions - better than some I've seen. Recently saw RENT in the smaller theater and they did a very ingenious and creative job of transforming the entire theater. It was a very immersive experience and for the first time, the story and character lines in RENT were clear. All the leads were superb - the direction fantastic, band great too. I highly recommend!

I am returning after not attending due to Covid-19. Everything looks great so far. Full house.
