Animal Engine Theatre Company Presents: Capital City
A new play adapted from the novel by Mari Sandoz
Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 7:00pm
Fremont Opera House, 541 N. Broad St.
Money. Corruption. Murder. Welcome to Capital City.
In this searing original play inspired by Nebraska author Mari Sandoz’ infamous novel Capital City, the Great Depression has split the people of a fictional Midwestern city in two: the rich and the poor. What lengths will the have-nots go to gain back their land, homes, and dignity? How far will the haves go to make sure they control it all?
Performed in Animal Engine Theatre Company’s signature physical style, actors create a richly detailed portrait of shanty towns, high society balls, striking workers, backroom schemes, and more with just their bodies and song.
Local Sponsor: Fremont Public Schools Foundation
Arts Across Nebraska Sponsors: Friends of Lied, Nebraska Arts Council & Nebraska Cultural Endowment, The Richard P. Kimmel & Laurine Kimmel Charitable Foundation
