Shelterbelt Theater to Present FROM SHELTERBELT WITH LOVE 13, 1/23-2/16

The Shelterbelt Theater will present "From Shelterbelt With Love 13" an eclectic mix of original work by local and national writers. This years theme goes a little darker and edgier than previous 'With Love' incantations.

Directed by three of Omaha's up and coming female directors ElizaBeth Thompson (Shelterbelt Artistic Director), Amy Schweid (Red Theater) and Julia Hinson (UNO) 'With Love' also boasts some new on stage talent in Omaha Theater.

Continuing the celebration of Shelterbelts 20th anniversary, this show calls to a slight shift in artistic direction for the Belt aligned with a new board change and new reading committee. This is an exciting year for the theater indeed!
