Photo Coverage: INDECENT Ends a Memorable Run at the Bluebarn Theatre

Bluebarn Theatre ended a highly successful run of Paula Vogel's INDECENT yesterday in Omaha. The play relates the story surrounding the controversial production of Sholem Asch's play "God of Vengeance" on Broadway in 1923. The cast of the original production was arrested on the grounds of obscenity. Bluebarn with its cast and crew magnificently turned out one of the most beautifully produced plays in Omaha. These photos describe that beauty. The caption below each photo lists the numerous roles each actor/actress played. Photos by Analisa Peyton of PeytonPlays Photography.
