Lincoln Community Playhouse Receives New Look and Message From KidGlov’s Agency for Change Challenge

KidGlov, a boutique marketing and advertising agency based out of Lincoln and Omaha, Neb., recently worked with Lincoln Community Playhouse for a refreshed logo and design as part of KidGlov’s Agency for Change Challenge. The challenge celebrated KidGlov’s first decade in business, and awarded $10,000 in free advertising work to select groups dedicated to making positive change in the world. Lincoln Community Playhouse was one of the organizations who received the prize, after rallying supporters via social media. 

“We were so excited to work with Lincoln Community Playhouse and took them through our proven brand marketing and advancement process to refresh the organization’s messaging and look,” said Lyn Wineman, president and chief strategist at KidGlov. “Using focus groups and surveys, we were able to identify the Playhouse’s brand archetypes and used those traits to help further shape their brand and messaging.”

The advertising agency provided Lincoln Community Playhouse a new logo, messaging statement and tagline, “Bringing joy to the stage and beyond.” 

“Lincoln Community Playhouse group was a joy to work with,” said Kelley Peterson, PCM, KidGlov vice president, nonprofit creative director, who oversaw the project. “They are so passionate about what they do. Even over Zoom, their enthusiasm was contagious. I love that we were able to give them a logo that feels familiar to them, with the comedy and tragedy masks, but also really hones in on that feeling of happiness and joy that they exude in all that they do.”

Lincoln Community Playhouse has been an integral part of the LIncoln arts community since 1946. Through community support, the group produces a variety of quality theater performances and outreach programs every year, including mainstage experiences; the Penguin Project, a program for children with special needs; the youth-driven Theatre Arts Academy; and senior showcases from the Radio Active Players.
