The Papillion La Vista Arts Network had its humble beginnings in 1998 with 25 students for the melodrama Last Chance Gulch at Papillion La Vista High School. Since then we have produced 30 productions and given 100’s of students the opportunity to be in a play. Our target audience is elementary and middle schools students who generally do not have the opportunity to participate in summer arts programs.
We received non-profit status in 2003 and have consistently received Arts Learning grants from the Nebraska Arts Council. The activity of putting a play together, the arts learning process and the team we build is our primary purpose. The performance is the icing on the cake.
Because of our long and on going relationship with the Rose Theater and other committed arts educators we are able to bring consistent and the best teaching artist to work with our students. We benefit greatly from graduates who come back to participate as teachers.
We thank Papillion La Vista High School, Trumble Park Elementary School, St Columbkille, Faith Presbyterian Church, Papillion City Park, Christ the King Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran Church for hosting us over the years.
Our graduates enter high school with quite a play resume and participate in Show Choir and high school plays.
We appreciate financial support from the Papillion Community Foundation, Gene’s Auto and Truck Service and Papio Fun Park.
Moving on to 2020 and the Papillion 150 Celebraton we will produce a play honoring Papillion History and be the featured event for July 2020.
