Emily A. Rollie Ph.D., Director of Men on Boats at UNO Theatre talks about this history reimagined production made up of non-binary and female cast members! In addition, we learned about her other role as an Intimacy Choreographer, which is timely and a newer concept to the theatre stage. Dr. Rollie also serves as an Educator and Faculty Member of the Washington Central State University theatre department, as well as an Associate Faculty Member for Theatrical Intimacy Education. She has written numerous articles, has served as an Artistic Director at the Independent Actors Theatre, and has a Master's Degree in Theatre at Central Washington University and her Ph.D. at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Dr. Rollie has many more credits and talents to her name and can be found on her website: https://www.emilyrollie.com/. And suffice to say, she has brought her vast talents to this production at UNO Theatre. In addition, it's perfect timing, since March is Women's History Month to bring such a talented female to our state who has been a resource and advocate for women in theatre, and a gender and sexuality educator. She was the Assistant Director of Troubling Violence Performance Project (TVPP) a group dedicated to opening lines of communication about issues of relationship violence through the performance of personal narratives.
There's so much to unpack here: Men On Boats is a history reimagined play about the 1869 exploration of what is known today as the Grand Canyon, as well as learning about Intimacy Choreography from such a talented Creative. Join us for a great conversation with Emily A. Rollie, Ph.D.!
Men On Boats by Jacklyn Backhaus opens February 23rd through March 5th.
Performances are February 23-25th, and March 2-4 at 7:30PM; and Feb 26 and March 5th at 2PM.

We talk with Troy Gagner, Executive Director of the Lincoln Arts Council, and Dr. Genna-Styles-Lyas, Director of AEP6 Community Engagement & Equity with the Americans for the Arts (AFTA). They are launching the Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6) Survey. This survey will be held all around the nation with 387 participating communities - and Lincoln is one of them! Find out all about it here and if you go to a Lincoln venue and see someone talking with others with a clipboard, they just might be doing the AEP6!
Of particular interest to this survey is broadening the focus on communities of color and identify organizations that has a CEO who identifies as BIPOC/ALAANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, Native American), so that they are engaging BIPOC/ALAANA organizations, managing local research, creating training opportunities, and evaluating progress.
Find out all the details here and congratulations to the Lincoln Arts Council for being one of the organizations to conduct this survey in Nebraska!

Jamie Ulmer, Managing Artistic Director of the Community Players in Beatrice, Nebraska is always such a pleasure to talk with! They have a fun season lined up for us. If you've never been to Community Players, you will want to make a plan to do so because you will always find quality productions, welcoming doors and really well-done theatre! Hear Jamie talk about not just their shows for this 2022-23 Season, but also about how theatre has helped the community come together and heal through a devised piece and a partnership with HBO's show, Mind Over Murder. This DocuSeries discusses how six people in Beatrice admitted to a terrible crime, when they were innocent and later exonerated.
Jamie Ulmer will also celebrate his 25th Season with Community Players, and we talk about the fun show their Board of Directors have put together for him. So don't miss it, there's so much happening in Beatrice at Community Players!
