Lofte Staff
Although volunteers contribute thousands of hours to participate on stage, backstage, in the concessions stand, the box office, and even parking cars, there are a few key staff members who keep the Lofte up and running. Here’s your chance to meet them!
Kevin Colbert
Artistic Director
Kevin Colbert has been involved with The Lofte Community Theatre since its inception in 1977. Born and raised on a farm approximately a half a mile away from the Lofte, Kevin has remained close to the area since graduating from Weeping Water High School in 1975. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln in 1980 and taught English, Speech, and Drama before becoming the full-time Artistic Director for The Lofte in 1985. Kevin was also the Producer/Director for KBC Productions for the winter theater season at Mahoney State Park from 1993-2015. He currently resides in Weeping Water with his wife Betty and their two cats while their daughter and her husband live in Omaha.
