Our Donors

Pinewood Performing Arts is a Nebraska 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that was started by volunteers. We rely on volunteer support and the generous donations from you and our corporate sponsors. 

​

Our productions are unique to other theatres because the Pinewood Bowl Amphitheatre is not a traditional theatre.

​

Concrete floors, concrete walls, no wings, limited entrances, no fly space, no grand curtain, and a larger than life proscenium.

Not to mention that we're outdoors.

What this all means is that we must build from the ground, up. We lay a dance floor for the safety of the actors and dancers. Only then can we place our specially designed and built set on the stage.

​

Sets that will fill the 75 foot wide, 25 foot deep, and 22 foot high stage. We rent sound and lighting equipment and, with a lot of help, we hoist the lights and speakers into the catwalks. We hand paint our sets and the dance floor. We build costumes for our cast of 40+ actors. We build props.

​

All this, coupled with the royalty fees, and our production costs run about $80,000 each year. We re-use, re-purpose, and re-cycle what we can. We often donate our sets and props to area camps and high schools. 

​

We cannot do this without you.
