The Omaha Community Playhouse, based in Omaha, Nebraska, is a nonprofit organization operating in the performing arts. It identifies itself as the largest community theatre in the United States and a cornerstone of the local arts scene, now entering its second century of high-caliber live theatre. The organization runs a ten-show season across two theatres and supports learning and participation through the Shirlee & Henry Fonda Theatre Academy, as well as immersive experiences via its mobile sensory theatre venture, VROOM. Its offerings serve both audiences seeking entertainment and individuals seeking active involvement, with classes and workshops for all ages and immersive theatre experiences. This blend positions the playhouse as a prominent nonprofit performer-educator within the regional arts landscape, combining traditional stage productions with innovative programming. A notable recent development is the 2023 launch of its Mobile Sensory Theatre, VROOM, expanding engagement beyond conventional venues.
