What did our critic think of PIPELINE at Omaha Community Playhouse? PIPELINE, a one act drama written by Tony Award nominated book writer Dominique Morisseau opened at the Omaha Community Playhouse on October 6 under the direction of Breanna Carodine. I finally saw it last night and was impressed by the passionate six member cast.

BEAUTIFUL, The Carole King Musical previewed at the Omaha Community Playhouse September 14th. Making its Broadway debut in 2014, BEAUTIFUL was nominated for an array of theater awards, winning several including Best Musical Theater Album and a Grammy Award.

LEGALLY BLONDE The Musical whipped up a pastel night of frivolous fun on stage at the Lied Center of Performing Arts on February 23. Based on the 2001 hit film starring Reese Witherspoon and Luke Wilson, the story is a woman fighting for footing in a previously all male dominated field of law.

What did our critic think of FOOTLOOSE: THE MUSICAL at Bellevue Little Theatre?

Stop the presses! This Disney film turned Tony-winning Broadway hit inspires everyone to fight for what's right and seize the day. Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience. Get a first look at the show!

After two long years in the making, BRIGHT STAR has finally come to life at the Omaha Community Playhouse.

I could rave on and on about how fun it was to be outside the Omaha Community Playhouse enjoying the hits of Buddy Holly as only Billy McGuigan and his band can do. So I will.

Hickman, Nebraska has a local treasure: The STAGE Theater. And right now you can catch the Twentieth Century Fox film turned stage musical by Patricia Resnick and Colin Higgins (book) and Dolly Parton (music and lyrics), 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL through March 15.

Once in awhile a musical comes along that strikes the right chord. Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech pianist Marketa Irglova collaborated on a stage version of the 2007 film by John Carney. This deceptively simple story won a Tony Award for Best Book by Enda Walsh along with 7 more wins out of 11 Tony nominations in 2012, including Best Musical, Best Orchestration, and Best Direction. Its most familiar song, 'Falling Slowly,' won an Academy Award and the cast album captured a Grammy.

This show can't miss. It has a message. It is beautifully presented. It is superbly acted. And it's gut-shaking funny.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience getting to watch A Thousand Words at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre this past week. The Rep has created a powerful show about the joys and sorrows of life that almost everyone can connect to.

You'd be crazy to miss this one!

Who knew that WORKING could be so much fun?

The best surprises come in small packages.
