PRODUCTIONS The Playhouse features two state-of-the-art performance spaces – the 558-seat Howard and Rhonda Hawks Mainstage Theatre and the intimate Howard Drew Theatre. Added in 1986, the Howard Drew Theatre is a “black box” theatre, which allows for more progressive productions. Depending on the production’s specific scenic/stage requirements, the Howard Drew Theatre’s flexible risers allow for audiences of between 200 and 230. Each of the five Howard and Rhonda Hawks Mainstage Theatre productions run for approximately one month, with six performances per week. The Fonda-McGuire Series productions (in the Howard Drew Theatre) run for approximately one month with four performances per week. EDUCATION & OUTREACH For decades the Omaha Community Playhouse has been committed to providing educational opportunities through the performing arts. We offer a variety of classes for adults and children, plus workshops, residencies, study materials, tours, and special events. Our Education & Outreach Department is constantly working to develop new ways to engage the community in education through the fine arts. NEBRASKA THEATRE CARAVAN The Nebraska Theatre Caravan, the professional touring wing of the Playhouse, has carried the Playhouse banner to over 160 communities in Nebraska and to over 600 communities in 49 US states and four provinces in Canada. The Company has served as arts ambassadors from Omaha to the nation and has gained a national reputation for quality programming for 30 years.
