York, Nebraska

The completion of the Yorkshire Playhouse in downtown York was a milestone for the community and the many volunteers and donors who turned a historical building into a respected, attractive community building. Complete with high ceilings, chandeliers, posh carpet and wall treatments - the feeling of ritzy, yet homey surroundings make visitors feel comfortable and pampered. Comfortable seats face a large, portable stage which is lit by state-of-the-art equipment.

The theatrical group started nearly 30 years ago, when drama enthusiasts got together to create community theater. Today, the product of their efforts has become one of the most respected community theaters in terms of consistent quality drams, comedy and music.

The playhouse has also been used as an art and photography gallery for the annual show during Yorkfest, and the American Heart Association located its annual wine tasting fundraiser in this ritzy setting.
