My son loves theater, which is like saying ducks like water. So when my dad offered to show off his community theater in Nebraska, Asher couldn’t wait to see it. I was expecting this low-budget amateur place in the middle of a cornfield. Well… I was right about the cornfield!
The Lofte Community Theatre in eastern Nebraska has been around for 40 years and has amassed this amazing treasure trove of costumes, set decorations, and construction materials.
Apparently they started off in a red barn, so when they built a new building, they built it to look like a red barn, but inside is a gorgeous 400-seat theater. They normally do several productions a year, but naturally that’s been rather difficult.
Dad told us that the most common expression is that “I didn’t know this was here!” Which is NOT what you want when you run a theater. 🙂
Asher was over the moon to check this place out, and it was REALLY impressive. Have you found one of these jewels where you least expect it? Let me know in the comments below!
