Theatre History...
Where is Brownville Village Theatre?
The Brownville Village Theatre is located in the southern part of Nebraska right
on the border of Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa. Brownville, Nebraska is the
oldest town in the state. The theatre was created out of an old church and has
a very intimate, yet creative climate. BVT is celebrating its 42nd season in
Brownville and audiences come from all four states and other surrounding areas to
see the productions (get your tickets today).

Brownville Company Members
The Brownville Village Theatre is made up of a core theatre company that
consists of well-rounded theatre professionals who oversee all the technical
aspects of the theatre season as well as acting in the summer-stock productions.
This year Brownville Village Theatre will consist of both professionals and
educational theatrical company members working side by side to produce
five shows in true repertory fashion.

True Rep Theatre
Make no mistake, BVT does shows in true rep fashion! One day you're watching
Rumors. That night the set is taken down and another put up and now you're
watching Kiss Or Make UP! BVT company members never tire of their roles
because they get a variety of them! If they're not on stage, they're helping back stage
or out in the house. We instill in our company members the importance of team-work
and that becoming a well-rounded thespian increases their chances of longevity in
the professional theatre industry. BVT company members succeed with camaraderie,
versatility and professionalism.

Past Company Members
BVT has been around for 42 years! Past company members have gone on to
work in film, TV, theatres across the United States as well as teaching in colleges
all over the world.

BVT Board of Directors
The Brownville Village Theatre operates under the direction of a volunteer
Board of Directors, who are responsible for setting the budget, raising the
money to meet it, and overseeing the care of the property. Members of the
board also provide support for the BVT staff and company in many ways,
and they deserve our thanks for their commitment and dedication in helping
to produce a successful season each summer. The BVT Board of Directors
was formally organized in 1970. Ruth Smith was elected Chairperson, a position
she held until 1997. Below are the names of the current board members with
the year they started service.
