The Haymarket Theatre began in 2002 as a children's theatre education program, which is still at the heart of our mission. Over the years, hundreds of young people have appeared in scores of shows which include Les Miserables, Robin Hood, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Anne of Green Gables, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Schoolhouse Rock, Young Dracula I & II, A Christmas Carol, Holiday House, South Pacific, Oklahoma, Cinderella, Godspell, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Guys and Dolls, Fiddler on the Roof and many more!
We have since grown to include a professional repertory theatre and our stage serves as a venue for a variety of performing arts groups. We launched our Mainstage Repertory Series with Bob Hall and David Richmond's The Passion of Dracula. Our past seasons have included The Who's Tommy, Hamlet, Lord of the Flies, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Cabaret, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Urinetown, Animal Farm, and New York Rock. Our repertory series has become a staple of the Lincoln theatre scene. We have presented five seasons of top-quality drama, including more than five of the Lincoln Journal Star's annual top ten best performances.
