Community Players

Community Players engages and enriches Southeast Nebraska through the arts by deepening connections, utilizing inclusive programming, and producing quality live theatre.

We maintain the highest quality standards in our productions, providing a consistent and polished experience for all patrons and volunteers, and utilizing the latest best practices in all aspects of the administration and business management of the organization. We provide a welcoming atmosphere for new volunteers and patrons, showing ongoing appreciation of work, treating all those involved with the organization fairly, and by providing opportunities to provide collaborative feedback for improving the organization. We impact the lives of young people through our growing educational programs, provide creative and artistic outlets to all ages, and enlighten the community connecting our productions to broader themes and issues. These efforts enhance the economy and quality of life throughout the community and region. Through ongoing education and development opportunities for staff, board, and volunteers we proactively make use of the latest technologies, trends, and concepts allowing us to continually evaluate and diversify our programming.

Big Give Gage 2026

We rediscovered a pamphlet promoting Community Players' 1980-1981 season...and not much has changed. "Each season, Community Players has surmounted the burden of maintaining itself financially while fashioning an artistic reputation." That's just as true now 45 years later!

During this year's Big Give Gage event, we still "ask all who believe that the performing arts are an important cultural element in the quality of life to make a move for continued support of Community Players." We still need your attendance, your participation, your contributions, and your enthusiasm.

And we will always "promise a relentless pursuit of presenting live theatre to southeast Nebraska."Pamphlet from the 1980-1981 Season
