All Night Strut! A Jumpin' Jivin' Jam opened at the Omaha Community Playhouse this past weekend and is running through March 30th, 2013 and is ready to take you back in time for a music and dance extravaganza. The cast of All Night Strut! A Jumpin' Jivin' Jam is made up of four phenomenal vocalists, a fantastic band and an ensemble of incredible dancers who also sing. This cast is by far one of the greatest that I have seen at the Playhouse, they harmonize well, they stay together and they have a great chemistry.

August: Osage County, the 2008 Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play has taken over the Omaha Community Playhouse. Thursday evening, I went to see this play for the first time and I was not really sure what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that it was a longer play (three and a half hours) about a dysfunctional family. Dysfunctional would be putting it lightly. This family has completely lost it and by losing it, I mean gone, out the window, crazy! Their eccentric personalities and interesting lifestyles will have you rolling over in laughter the whole evening!
