THEATRE from page 18
late moving into the building, but we
had committed to this strip, so we just
had to wait it out.”
The dinner theater moved into the
top floor of the building immediately
following the renovation. Arturo’s
and Sheppard’s Business Interiors,
Inc. have taken up the other two
floors.
Rook said the move of these and
other businesses into the Haymarket
area has helped business within that
district.
He also said the dinner theater, as
well as the comedy club, is attracting
attention of people of all ages. This is
partially due to the affordability of
tickets.
Prices for the dinner theater are
$23 for dinner and a show or $13 for
just the show.
The comedy club sells student
tickets for $5 and adult tickets for $7.
The theater also offers a season pass
available for $175, which includes
nine dinners and shows.
“I am an advocate for cheap the
ater,1’ Rook said. “Our theater caters
to people who can’t afford to burn a
hole in their pockets for one night of
entertainment.”
Michael Tushaus, an actor and
technician at the dinner theater,
agrees.
“The theater has been improving
with each production,” he said. “The
crew learns from experience. It’s fun
to see how the word spreads about the
theater.
“More and more people are find

actor and technician
ing out about the place.”
Tushaus, who has performed in
productions of “Annie,” “Little Shop
of Horrors,” “Lend Me a Tenor” and
this summer’s production of “Damn
Yankees,” is a local actor, like many
of the performers at the theater.
Although the comedy club usual
ly books touring comics, many of the
actors come from Lincoln.
“I believe in the talent in
Lincoln,” Rook said. “Most of our
performers come from UNL or
Wesleyan. It’s not often that we have
actors who come from elsewhere.”
The theater caters to local talent
by allowing them to learn more about
other aspects of theater by working
behind the scenes as well.
“The theater is building up a basis
of actors that are interested in work
ing in each show,” Tushaus said.
Tushaus, who began at the theater
as an actor, said being a part of the
theater has given him room to experi
ence the other side of the stage.
“I came here as an actor,” he said.
“But I now work as a technical direc
tor also. There are opportunities for
people involved to do that here.”
Despite the venue’s first year of
success, there will be no big celebra
tion.
Instead, the theater will laugh into
its second year by bringing in come
dians throughout September. The
Comedy Club has also booked a hyp
notist for the last weekend of that
month.
In October, the theater will con
tinue its season with a production of
“Sweeney Todd.” Bill Shomos, a pro
fessor of voice and opera at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will
play the title character.
Tushaus will also be involved in
the production.
“This is the most ambitious pro
ject I’ve been involved with,” he said.
“The cast is outstanding, and we will
be doing things technically that we
have not done in past shows.
“This show is the one that is going
to really challenge us and stretch our
limits.”
