Tickets On Sale Now For RIPCORD And JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH At Omaha Community Playhouse

Tickets for two upcoming shows, Ripcord and James and the Giant Peach, are now on sale through the Omaha Community Playhouse box office.

Omaha Community Playhouse will hold opening night celebrations for each show from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. free to that evening's ticket holders. No reservations necessary.

To celebrate Ripcord, on Friday, January 19, ease into the weekend with some leisure activities before the show! Enjoy tea sampling courtesy of The Tea Smith and rounds of BINGO (with prizes).

To celebrate James and the Giant Peach, on Friday, March 2, our friends at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium are helping make opening night special by bringing some special guests...of the insect variety. Take a peek at these fascinating creatures and also grab a treat before the show!

Ripcord, a comedy of one-upmanship as two feisty senior ladies compete for their rightful place, will run at the Omaha Community Playhouse January 19 - February 11, 2018 in the Hawks Mainstage Theatre.

Pranks and practical jokes abound when cantankerous Abby and chipper Marilyn are forced to share the nicest room at the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility. As Abby attempts to get rid of her unwanted new roommate, a series of bets soon escalates into a hilarious game of one-upmanship as the two women try every trick in the book to claim their space in the apartment and their place in the world. Ripcord is a hilarious tale with a lot of heart.

Disclaimer: Contains adult language spoken by a cantankerous old lady.
