About the Haymarket Theatre

The Haymarket Theatre is a non-profit theatre arts organization with a beautiful 145-seat performance space located in Lincoln Nebraska's Historic Haymarket District. We have two programs that operate year-round. The Nebraska Youth Theatre stages ten full-length productions a year as well as day camps and after-school programs. Our Mainstage Season includes plays and musicals we produce as well as works by many of Nebraska's best performing arts groups. You can find information on each of these programs under the headings Mainstage and Youth Theatre here on our website.

Mission & Organization

The Haymarket Theatre’s mission is to enrich, educate, entertain and empower our community through theatre productions and a youth performing arts education program.

Our vision is to foster, create and host high quality, vibrant and thought-provoking theatre and performing arts for our community. We are committed to exposing our community’s youth to the many life opportunities enabled by participation in and knowledge of performing arts. We aim to inspire a sense of pride in all students at all levels, in an inclusive and accepting manner, where theatre professionals have the opportunity to teach young minds, creating a more profound outcome for all who participate — the youth performers and their families, our patrons and the community at large, and the professional actors.
