Norfolk Community Theatre

Norfolk Community Theatre is a live theatre organization based in Norfolk, Nebraska. According to its official website, it was founded in 1964 by a group of young married couples who felt Norfolk was missing something as the community grew and entertainment options remained limited. The group sprouted from a drama class at Norfolk Junior College and staged A Thurber Carnival, giving birth to the theatre. Its mission is to create live theatre, cultivate local talent and collaborate in the production of the performing arts, and its vision is to inspire live theatre in the Norfolk area. It also runs Norfolk Youth Theatre (NYT), a week-long summer camp for ages 10–18, and NYTjr, a week-long introductory camp for ages 6–9.

In 1964, a group of young married couples decided Norfolk was missing something. As the community was growing, the options for entertainment were still limited. They took the matter into their own hands. Sprouting from the seeds of a drama class at Norfolk Junior College, the group staged A Thurber Carnival and the Norfolk Community Theatre was born.
