Lofte Community Theatre

With a successful capital campaign and a construction loan obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture, actors and audience members now enjoy a beautiful climate-controlled venue year 'round. Today, the Lofte offers six core season productions, as well as many special events featuring visiting artists. They hold a week-long children’s theater workshop, a free Veterans Day concert, and host high-school one-act play competitions in the fall. Approximately 12,000 visitors come through the doors annually. Although the postmark is Manley, NE, The Lofte has taken care to avoid the label of a particular community. The Lofte Community Theater season draws people of all ages, all economic levels, and all employment backgrounds annually.
