Theater
Omahans love theater. Comedies, dramas, musicals, interactive theater, mysteries and children’s theater: Omaha has it all. Splashy, Broadway-style touring productions find temporary homes at the Orpheum Theater and the Omaha Music Hall, but although it’s always exciting to welcome a Phantom or some Cats to town, the shows produced in Omaha often rival the best of the Great White Way. The granddaddy of local theater is the Omaha Community Playhouse, the largest community theater in the nation. If you’re in town during the holidays, the Playhouse’s annual production of A Christmas Carol is a must see. Other community theaters worth a peek include the Blue Barn Theater, the Bellevue Little Theatre, SNAP Productions, the Brigit St. Brigit Theatre Company and the Shelterbelt. Opera lovers get their fix with an always-thrilling season presented by Opera Omaha, while younger audiences are welcomed with open arms at the Omaha Theater Company for Young People, one of the nation’s most respected children’s theaters.
