2025-2026 SEASON

Between Worlds

Where Truth, Memory, and Imagination Collide.

At Nebraska Repertory Theatre, we train and create in the space 'between worlds' — between the academic and the professional, the emerging and the established, the classroom and the stage. It’s a rare and energizing position that allows us to present compelling work while giving our students the chance to collaborate with working artists and industry mentors. This season is a vivid reflection of that mission — where learning, craft, and storytelling converge in full view of our audiences.
