A CHRISTMAS CAROL
November 28 & 29, 2017 - Victoria Theatre
When Charles Dickens wrote his "ghostly little tale" in 1843, he couldn't have known that A CHRISTMAS CAROL was destined to become one of the most beloved holiday traditions of all time. And now that tradition is back at the Victoria Theatre this holiday season! The Nebraska Theatre Caravan, the professional touring wing of the Omaha Community Playhouse, has been touring Charles Jones' delightful adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL since 1979. The Caravan's CAROL, which weaves traditional Christmas carols throughout the narrative, is probably the most widely produced in the nation, annually performing for more than 100,000 people in more than 60 cities across the country. Here's your chance to start a tradition of your own - with all those you hold dear!

A CHRISTMAS STORY
December 12-17, 2017 - Victoria Theatre
How many times do you think you've enjoyed the film? Now it's your turn to see it come to life on stage in a fresh new way - with all your favorite comic moments! Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas ("You'll shoot your eye out!"). All the elements from the beloved movie are here, including that temperamental furnace, the Scut Farkus affair, the "double dog dare ya" with the flag pole at school, the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin, Ralphie's dad's "major award" (a.k.a. the leg lamp), and much more - all live on stage at the intimate Victoria Theatre.
STEEP CANYON RANGERS
March 17, 2018 - Victoria Theatre
Back by popular demand! Fifteen years and nine studio albums since forming in Chapel Hill, the blue grass sextet hailing from the western North Carolina mountains effortlessly walk the line between festival favorite and sophisticated string orchestra. It's that mix of serious chops and good-natured fun that earned STEEP CANYON RANGERS the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album Grammy in 2013 and that drew celebrated comedian/banjoist Steve Martin to them when he needed a backing band. And there's no stopping them now.
