Omaha Community Playhouse tickets — Omaha, Nebraska

Discover the Historic Omaha Community Playhouse

The Omaha Community Playhouse is more than a community theater — it's a historic cornerstone of Omaha’s arts scene that has shaped American theater for over a century. Located at 6915 Cass Street in Omaha, Nebraska, it’s a beloved destination for theater lovers seeking top-tier productions in intimate settings. If you’re searching for Omaha Community Playhouse tickets, you’re in the right place to experience one of the nation’s most celebrated community theaters.

Founded in 1925, the Playhouse has grown into the largest community-based theatre in the United States. It features two primary performance spaces: the Howard and Rhonda Hawks Mainstage Theatre and the Howard Drew Theatre. With modern lighting and sound systems, plus flexible configurations in the Howard Drew black box, the venue delivers exceptional production quality for audiences of all ages.

From classic dramas and contemporary plays to big-hearted musicals, community events, and educational programs, the Playhouse offers a robust season that reflects Omaha’s creative spirit. It’s also the longtime home of the beloved annual production of “A Christmas Carol,” a holiday tradition since 1976. The Playhouse famously helped launch the careers of stars like Henry Fonda and Dorothy McGuire—an enduring legacy that inspires each new season.

What sets this venue apart is its blend of professional-grade artistry and community involvement. Reserved seating in both theaters ensures a smooth, comfortable experience, while the Mainstage’s proscenium offers expansive sightlines and the Howard Drew’s black box provides immersive, up-close storytelling. Intimate seating brings you closer to the action—center rows E–J in the Mainstage are especially prized for sightlines and acoustics.

Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, the Playhouse delivers theater that feels personal and powerful. Explore Omaha Community Playhouse upcoming events and get ready for warm hospitality, thoughtful productions, and the kind of shared moments you’ll talk about long after the curtain falls.
