He most recently stage managed the OCP productions of Once, Sweat and The Bridges of Madison County. He says it is difficult to choose a favorite OCP show, but A Christmas Carol, Ragtime, Quilters, A Man of No Importance and The Secret Garden would be high on his list. Some other shows he has stagemanaged at OCP include Shrek The Musical, Eminent Domain, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Young Frankenstein, Ella, Les Misérables, The Wizard of Oz, Annie (2005), The Marvelous Wonderettes, Frankenstein and Fiddler on the Roof.

Kate Whitcott0nRehearsal Stage ManagerA graduate of the Technical Theatre Program from Red Deer College in AB, Canada, Kate has been working professionally in the performing arts for over 15 years. In 2007 Kate moved to Omaha, Nebraska to join Billy McGuigan’s Rave On Productions (ROP) to Stage Manage the premiere of Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience. Shortly after, ROP set out on their first national tour, and Kate quickly worked her way up to being the tour manager and director of bookings. In 2016 Kate moved into her current role of CEO and has helped grow ROP into an internationally recognized production company. One of Kate’s favorite accomplishments has been building a relationship with the Omaha Community Playhouse where she now manages their professional touring wing, the Nebraska Theatre Caravan. During COVID Kate helped to create and produce three socially distanced drive-in concert events at the OCP which has since toured the Midwest. She is delighted to be a part of this incredible production and hopes you enjoy!

A NOTE TO OUR PATRONSUnprecedented. Defined as “never done or known before.” Surely you’re as tired of hearing that word as I am. But really, is there a better word to describe the times we’re currently living in? Unprecedented. Watching a performer through plexiglass. Wearing masks throughout the entire performance. Staying distanced from others in the theatre and in all walks of life. While everything we are experiencing is unprecedented, I am so glad that through the perseverance of our staff and the support of the community that we have been able to offer theatre and music these past six months, either in the parking lot, online or in the theatre.

As you may know, COVID-19 forced us to re-imagine our 2020/21 season. We canceled some shows and rearranged others so that large-cast shows are at the end of the season. As such, the beginning of our season is comprised of titles with small casts in order to keep the performers safe. While those decisions were difficult, they resulted in some knock-out shows now finding a home on the season. Grounded is a perfect example. And veteran Omaha actress Leanne Hill Carlson has the talent and experience to handle this challenging and gripping drama with seeming ease. I am so grateful to her and all the other volunteers and staff who were able to create this production during… well… this unprecedented time.

We have gone to great lengths to keep everyone safe while in the Playhouse. Please do your part to support these efforts; always keep your mask on and stay socially distanced.

Thank you for being here and supporting OCP during this challenging time. Please stay safe.

Katie Broman OCP Executive Director

As a 96-year-old cornerstone of Omaha’s arts community, the Omaha Community Playhouse must find a way to persevere through the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic—by being adaptable and innovative, reaching out to our community, and keeping everyone who comes through our doors safe and healthy.

But we can’t do it alone.

Please donate today to help us continue to bring powerful stories to life. Your gift is an investment in our future together.
