As part of the vibrant cityscape of Omaha, Nebraska, the community playhouse stands as a testament to the region's thriving cultural heritage. Established in 1924 by a group of local theater enthusiasts, the Omaha Community Playhouse has grown to become the largest community theater in the United States, boasting a rich history of productions that cater to diverse tastes and interests. Over the years, the playhouse has been home to artists such as Henry Fonda and Dorothy McGuire, who began their careers on its stage.

Situated in the heart of the city, the Omaha Community Playhouse is located at 6915 Cass Street in Omaha, directly adjacent to the University of Nebraska Omaha campus. This unique location fosters an engaging collaboration between students, faculty, and community members, enriching the town's vibrant cultural atmosphere. Throughout its nine decades, the playhouse has continuously invested in innovative storytelling methods, taking bold risks to experiment with themes and styles that inspire its broad audience.

Among notable productions at the Omaha Community Playhouse include "Ragtime," "West Side Story," and "Les Miserables." Many shows hosted here strive to reflect the cultural aspirations of the community, exploring themes such as identity, change, and redemption. The playhouse's musical performances, backed by over a century of enduring artistic evolution, continue to demonstrate this artistic development through its vast range of theatrical exhibitions, which evoke a clear connection between artistic legacy and the dynamic energy reverberating through the city of Omaha.

A particularly notable establishment associated with the Omaha Community Playhouse is the playhouse's educational arm, the Omaha Community Playhouse Academy, also known as 'The Academy,' dedicated to empowering budding artists in theater arts and musical theater. Founded in the summer of 2007 as a natural step forward in nurturing Omaha's artistic strengths, 'The Academy' employs instructors from the local theatrical and musical expertise, focusing on learning techniques for self-improvement.

Omaha Community Playhouse co-droduces "Elf," a Christmas musical comedy with Nebraska Theatre Caravan. Beyond its various theatrical exhibitions, this cooperation attests to the deep relationship this Omaha mainstay theatre house maintains with other similarly prominent players such as local Nebraska theater institutions. Many ongoing theatrical events suggest collaborative ties to performing artists participating and elevating Nebraska theatrical arts across generations.

Omaha Community Playhouse actively participates in a program aimed at enhancing education called 'InterAct,' developed with a focus in student integration in community groups actively engaging school children into artistic programs through their specific school. InterAct serves communities around Omaha effectively allowing creativity to become a strong player in school kid programs, developing emotional creative stability as essential to their school activities.
