Was visiting. Omaha and looking for things to do. Went to see Escape to Margaritaville. It was so fun !! The staff was friendly. The cast was awesome. Theatre is lovely. Not a bad seat in the house. Easy free parking. If i lived there, I’d go all the time !
MoreMy wife and I have seen a handful of plays and musicals at the Omaha Community Playhouse, but we can no longer attend since the seating is inaccessible. I am a fat woman and I had to painfully squeeze into the chair, scraping my legs which left bruises. The shows were wonderful, but the seats are way too small to comfortably sit and the rows are long with small aisles, making it difficult to stand during intermission
MoreWe saw A Raisin in the Sun for one of our date nights and it was well worth the money. The seating was perfect in the front row of the balcony. The play was 3 hours with an intermission in the middle. We really enjoyed it.
MoreMy mother-in-law and I attended the final performance of Ragtime at the Omaha Community Theater and were blown away with the quality of the cast, the vocalists and the music. OCT is known for being a farm team for Broadway and Hollywood (Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda, etc.) and Ragtime was yet another reminder of how special this theater and this underrated city is. Bravo, Ragtime cast!
MoreA 2 local bus trip/ride-share/drive will get you to and from Omaha Community Playhouse that (as judged by their production of RAGTIME The Musical) is a capable community theatrical organization with high performance values and talented locals in a comfortable and intimate theatre. Box office staff are kind and helpful and may be able to provide twilight (same-day rush) tickets at a price that rivals movie theatres
