Welcome Thespians!
This is the largest national festival for high school and middle school
theater students in the nation.
It is a week long celebration of high school theater.
It's shows, it's workshops, it's all kinds of
theater related activities.
We have a really great relationship with UNL.
Terrific staff to work with.
And we work very closely with the housing people as well to
house and feed our delegates
while they're on campus,
to get us workshop space
and so forth.
I really like the campus.
It's just an amazing, beautiful campus.
And there's a lot to do around here.
The dining halls are great.
The campus is beautiful.
The dorms are great.
They're big, they're wide.
It has enough space for you
and the beds are really comfortable.
Awesome food, great dorms,
wonderful hospitality.
As an adult it's been very comfortable
and I'm also part o the security team so
I've had a chance to see all the parts of the buildings
and really appreciate the work that they do
and the way that they take care of the facilities
and they've been really, really easy to go to if you have any questions or problems.
Planning an event is a whole lot of customer service
and they hit it every single time.
Here's your room key...
We really do get a customer service, a positive customer service
attitude from the people we work with,
everybody on campus.
When you say "hi" they all say "hi" to you
and they all smile. It's all friendly.
You won't find a better team of people to help
put on an event.
They are incredibly organized,
they are flexible, they are easy to work with.
We love them, and they treat us very, very well.
They love coming to the University of Nebraska.
We hold our camp here, this is our 17th year here on campus.
The facilities directors and staff are really great
to work with and organize with.
They'll bend over backwards for you
to get everything you need
and make everything runs smoothly.
It's just a really good experience for them.
I like how it's all close together.
My rooms are really nice and big, clean.
They're comfortable to live in.
Food's great!
It's good. Alot of it's homemade,
so that's really good.
I really like the pizza.
Good food, lots of friends.
It's a really good experience,
I would say everybody should try it.
We pretty much used every single facility
on campus.
From the residence halls to the competitive facilies,
not only were the athletes completely enthralled
with what was available to them,
everybody walked away happy and
wishing they could stay longer.
We've never had a successful event
in terms of housing and food
for athletes and for coaches.
They all walked away when the week was over
wishing that they could stay for
another two weeks.
So that's the best possible recommendation
I can give.
"America, America..."
We need places that can hold almost 500 people
every day.
And the univeristy is able to provide
those venues for us.
The university is a great place for a big event
like this.
We're able to be on campus
get the kids exposed to what it's like to
possibly go to school here.
And it's just an outstanding partnership.
Our relationship with the university in particular
makes it just seemless.
We have virtually use of the entire campus.
The staff is really friendly
and it makes me feel like I'm at home.
Lincoln's a great place because it's a large city
but it still has the small-town feel.
Lincoln offers so many opportunities
everything around the university is so close,
everything is within walking distance.
Having our event here on the university
is very cost effective for us.
Our per person prices are really low.
It meets our budget every year.
Everyone here is so friendy and so accomodating
that you feel like you want to come back.
"everybody..."
We've been at UNL for 17 years now.
There's a reason we come back,
that's because we think we get a great deal.
We're treated well and we like it here.
It's perfect, I couldn't ask for anything different.
Service is impeccable.
The facilities are really easy to work with
and the food is great.
And the dorms are clean and comfortable,
and it's just an all around win-win for us.
I would strongly recommend using the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln's
Conference Services Department to help plan
your event any day of the year.
Not only are they dedicated and really fun to work with,
they are a talented and professional group that will
make sure that your event goes off without a hitch.
I would highly recommend it.
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
