Support Local Art During COVID-19

Being forced to innovate through a global pandemic has given us a renewed appreciation for what it means to be a community theatre. Art is healing. Art is human. Art connects us with one another in ways nothing else can. The art created within our walls is essential to our community now more than ever. And our community is essential to our art. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to ask how you can help. Your spirit and generosity embody what makes the Omaha community so special. Here are a few ideas on how you can help support local art here at OCP during COVID-19.

Make a Donation

The show must go on. With severely reduced capacities in our theatres throughout the 2020/21 season and the cancellation of our holiday productions, including the 45th year of A Christmas Carol, the Omaha Community Playhouse lost critical ticket revenue we rely upon to sustain our beloved organization. But you can help! Please consider making a monetary donation in support of our continued work. Your support will help OCP endure these challenging times, ensuring that we will be ready to once again come together to share the power of live theatre and the joy of human connection. Gifts of all sizes make a difference and are 100% tax-deductible. To make a donation, click here!

Purchase a Season Subscription

A great way to support the Omaha Community Playhouse is by purchasing a subscription. Not only will you have the chance to see some fantastic productions, but you’ll also help ensure that future generations are able to gather under one roof to share this magical, healing, communal experience we call theatre.

Donate the Value of Your Ticket!
