Check their website for showtimes. When there is not a play or musical on the stage, they often show elders movies. The theater is beautiful and admission is usually only $5. Snack are reasonably priced, and you can also get adult beverages. Lots to like about this theater.

Downtown taproom that serves ONLY Nebraska made beer, wine, and liquor. Parking can be tough downtown on the weekend, but it's worth it. Just the North, beside the Chicken Coop restaurant is a public parking lot.

All the beer is brewed a few miles south in Axtell, Nebraska. The thin crust brick oven Pizza is fantastic! A pizza called "The Usual" is my favorite. Great place to have a beer and enjoy snacking on a fresh pretzel with stone ground mustard.
