The Rose Theater is Omaha's premier venue for performing arts for children and families. It is housed in a beautifully restored 1927 vaudeville palace. It is the home of the Omaha Theater Company, the only resident touring professional theater company in Omaha and one of the largest in the country. It is committed to enriching the lives of children and families through live theater and arts education. In 1990, the Omaha Theater Company received the prestigious Sara Spencer Artistic Achievement Award from The Alliance for Theater and Education, the primary national organization for professional children's theaters in the U.S. The theater is accessible to all.
