2015 – Lincoln Community Playhouse
The Lincoln Community Playhouse has collaborated with Lincoln City Libraries, particularly the Gere Branch, for many years. A library staff person prepares a book list of adult and youth titles to match each play they perform. The Playhouse publishes the book lists on its website and promotes reading as part of the audience experience. They have also instituted a read-aloud time for their Theatre Arts Academy during quiet time at the summer session. Morrie Enders, the director of the Lincoln Community Playhouse, has presented at two Read Aloud Nebraska workshops.
Former First Lady of Nebraska, Sally Ganem, presented Morrie Enders with the Read Aloud Champion award.
