It's our 100th Episode! And we are celebrating by talking with Ron Himes, founder and Producing Director of the St. Louis Black Repertory Company, who graces us with a devised piece, Traveling Shoes, at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre. There are only two performances of this important piece of work which includes poems, prose, dance, and songs to convey the need to have difficult conversations and realizations about contemporary social issues.
Ron also talks with us about his current productions at the St. Louis Black Repertory Company in St. Louis, Missouri, in which the rest of the current season also invokes provocative discussions - and yet, there's still more to hear in our discussion. So listen in to the podcast, come to one (or both) of the performances this weekend March 26th and 27th at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, and then plan your next trip to St. Louis to see Ron's other illuminating productions!

It's always a treat to meet new talented people, and we were certainly not disappointed in the least when meeting Jill Anderson. Jill is Guest Directing "King Lear" which will be opening at Bluebarn. Jill discusses what will be a fantastic Shakespeare experience, with a large cast packed with local talent, complete with period costumes and an intimate set. We were so fortunate to also not only discuss the works of Shakespeare with Jill, but also to talk about her music and theatre experiences. Jill has her BFA from UNO, and has produced several Celtic music albums including "Cool of the Day" which features 12 Irish and Scottish Songs; "Seven Songs" and "Celtic Cabaret Live." We were even blessed to hear some of her voice in-person, so don't miss this podcast or this production!
Jill's theatrical experience and love for Shakespeare makes her the perfect Director for this play, and we can't wait to see it. It opens March 24th and runs through April 16th. Tickets can be purchased at bluebarn.org.

We speak to Steven Williams, Professor at UNO and Head of Design and Production at UNO, Jocelyn Reed and Aaron Butler, both Co-Producers of the Crossing the Street Festival at UNO and also UNO Fine Arts students. Jocelyn and Aaron produced and directed a festival of plays, poetry and prose which celebrates BIPOC voices and addresses the need for difficult conversations about race, gender, and age - and our human connectedness. The title of the festival has some special origins as well that you'll find out about. So join us to enjoy our conversation with these three talented individuals, and learn about this valuable festival made for all of us to experience together.
"In America we 'Cross the Street' to avoid difficult dialogues, but we also cross the street to engage them. What adventure could be bigger than sharing what we experience, or examining what we don't know? A unique student-directed performance project, Crossing the Street is a festival of short plays, poetry, and spoken word, to provide opportunities to performers across a range of ethnicities, ages, and the gender spectrum."
The Festival performances are March 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 at 7:30PM and Sundays, March 6th and 13th at 2PM at the Weber Fine Arts Theatre. There will be a Preview Performance on March 2nd at 7:30PM. Tickets are available online here: https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/unotheatre/6817

First time Directors, Rory Nolan and Megan Boggs talk about the Olde Glory Theatre's production of Miracle on 34th Street! Olde Glory Theatre is located in Seward, Nebraska and is a historic church building that was built in 1873. The church was repurposed in 2013 and was intended to host the Goehner Centennial Players Melodrama's dinner theatre which had been formed in 1987. It was later renovated, and in 2015 became a non-profit theatre and often holds theatre from touring theatre groups.
This year Olde Glory is celebrating the holidays with their production of Miracle on 34th Street. With a large cast - and a Santa in his 80's - this production is sure to warm the hearts of families celebrating together. And if you catch it just right, you might be able to get dinner or dessert there to warm your stomach as well!

We talk with Rachel Curtiss and Mitch Bean, Artistic Directors at the Brownville Village Theatre in Brownville, Nebraska. Their theatre is one of the oldest repertory theatres in the state of Nebraska. Each summer Brownville employs 12-15 theatre students from all over the Midwest, and gives them intensive experience in every aspect of producing theatre. So much so that they do 5 back to back shows every week. However, their Christmas musical, The Sanders Family Christmas, is a funny and down home Christmas musical and celebration of church life and bluegrass music. This production is sure to please family audiences! Don't miss this one weekend run of The Sanders Family Christmas.
