What did our critic think of THE RIVER BRIDE at Omaha Community Playhouse? Omaha Community Playhouse has once again delivered up something new and different---a story built on Brazilian folklore.

Review: WAITRESS at Omaha Community Playhouse
by Christine Swerczek
- Jan 27, 2025
One of my favorite pieces of musical theatre opened at the Omaha Community Playhouse on January 24th. WAITRESS, featuring the prodigious music and lyrics of Sara Bareilles and book by Jessie Nelson, was adapted from Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 film script of the same name. Shelly wrote, directed and co-starred in the film, but was murdered in 2006 when she was only 40 years old. Sadly, Shelly never saw the film which opened three months later.
