Hey Omahans. Omahams? People of Omaha.

Surely you are all itching to see our new show Wednesday night, and frankly I can't blame you. I can, however, suggest a mild calamine lotion that would take care of that. The itchiness, not the frantic need to be at The Bourbon Theatre at 8:30PM with a ticket or $5 in hand.

But once tomorrow night passes with its usual ephemeral grace, you may discover a new disease has taken root. Symptoms include a strong desire to revive the theatre as a means of community expression, writing in freeform metaphors about the effects of The Power Rangers on America's late nineties' class struggles, or the intense urge to stand motionless on stage in a gorilla suit.

We can help you with that.

Red Theater is coming to Omaha!

The first of several planned expansions into new markets, Red Theater Omaha is holding auditions for their inaugural August 14th show! Heading up the auditions are RT: Omaha's artistic director Jeremy Short and managing director Sara Tangdall, a former RT: Lincoln member. The details:

here's what we’re looking for:

an ORIGINAL performance written by YOU.
it can have props, perform a monologue, be interactive, physical, musical, whatever.
what makes you "you"? what's important to you?
in a positive, funny, tragic, or beautiful way?
it doesn't have to be epic.
you can perform about ANYTHING.
as long as YOU wrote it.
we are not looking for awesome actors but rather awesome PEOPLE.

How?
Auditions will be held on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Where?
Nebraska Film Group
