Casey Hallas Terminal Uniqueness: An Exhibition of Paintings from the American West
2025-04-05 12:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | The Relic Refinery, 321 Main St, Plattsmouth, NE, 68048, United States
Casey Hallas is a painter, video artist, musician and social theorist from Quincy, IL. He now resides in Omaha. Casey encodes his life story and philosophy into artifacts to share with his community. “Creativity is spirituality, a symbolic practice, and an act of peace.” After a career as a production artist and project manager creating scenery using printed textiles – Casey produced his first group of paintings and prints in Boise, ID between 2016-2019. “The theme of my show is the paradoxical nature of the value of art, trauma, and power in American Society.” Descriptive cartouches decode the paintings’ meaning for his revered audience with reproductions available through Infinite Tapestry Co. – a media label and website founded in 2019. “I hope you enjoy confronting complex realities of masculinity with me through storytelling and the beauty of painting, when originals and man-sized reproductions can be seen side by side.” A feature film about the work will also be produced with help from documentarian Joshua LeBure.

All Aboard: The Railroad in American Art, 1840–1955
2025-04-05 10:00 - 16:00, 2025-04-04 10:00 - 16:00 | Joslyn Art Museum, 2200 Dodge St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
All Aboard: The Railroad in American Art, 1840-1955, explores depictions of trains and train infrastructure in American painting during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From its emergence as a technological marvel in mid-nineteenth century landscape views to its adoption by artists as a symbol of modern life and industry, the railroad was a significant motif in several major art movements.
Featuring paintings from the Hudson River School to postwar abstraction, the exhibition considers the impact of the railroad on American art through significant works by Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hart Benton, John Sloan, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jacob Lawrence, George Tooker, Kay Sage, and others. Depictions of rail workers and passengers present trains as spaces for distinct forms of social interaction. Other works illuminate the railroad as an engine of modernity, but also a cause of population displacement, labor struggles, and environmental destruction that changed the fabric of American life, from the urban centers of the East Coast to the Heartland and Pacific Ocean.
All Aboard: The Railroad in American Art, 1840–1955 is organized by Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Joslyn Art Museum, and Shelburne Museum. It is accompanied by an exhibition catalogue.
This exhibition is sponsored by: Julie & Lance Fritz, Stephanie & John Koraleski, Mutual of Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska; Omaha Steaks; Valmont Industries, Inc.; The family of Shirley & Jim Young, and Union Pacific.

Alec Soth: Reading Room
2025-04-05 10:00 - 16:00, 2025-04-04 10:00 - 16:00 | Joslyn Art Museum, 2200 Dodge St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
Feb 15, 2025 – May 4, 2025

Drawing on documentary, formalist, and narrative photographic traditions, Alec Soth uncovers the beauty and banality of the human experience. His work has taken him across the world, capturing landscapes, interiors, and people in stunning, large-format photographs. These images, carefully composed and exhibiting remarkable clarity and directness, allow the subjects to be grasped all at once, while their details—gestures, angles, objects—invite sustained attention. An immersive exploration of both the artist’s picture-making and book-making practices, this exhibition transforms The Joslyn’s Riley CAP Gallery into a reading room. Photographs from two recent projects, I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating and Advice for Young Artists, hang on the walls. On a table, a selection of the artist’s photobooks situates the visitor in a small library. Taken together, the recurring motif of the book and a focus on the spaces we inhabit while reading, turns an often-solitary act into a collective experience.

Jitterbugs' Night Out
2025-04-04 20:00 - 23:59 | Eagles Ballroom, 201 S 24th St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
Jitterbugs’ Night Out, or as we like to call it, JNO, has been home to Omaha Jitterbugs’ since 2001.
On average 130 people come to JNO each week, and it’s one of Omaha’s longest-running weekly events.
Masks are optional at JNO.
You don’t need to bring a partner. The weekly beginning dance lesson is from 8:15 – 9:00 and you can choose to rotate partners throughout the lesson or stick with the partner you came with. Then the DJ plays swingin’ tunes for social dancing from 9 p.m. until midnight, so ask people to dance! Check our calendar for nights with live music. Our instructors and DJs are volunteers with JIVE who have completed training.
Dressing sharp is encouraged! But you’ll see people in t-shirts, jeans, dresses, and suits. For special events and live music nights, people tend to dress nicer.
We’ve created a diverse and welcoming community: smoke-free, drug-free, and all ages are welcome. Children younger than 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Most nights more than 100 people attend. While the highest percentage of people attending are aged 19–39, dancers range from middle and high school students to retirees in their 70s and above. Check out our Code of Conduct.
You can bring in your own food and bottle for water. We provide free water because you WILL get thirsty. A full bar is available downstairs.
Join us for the Birthday Jam! After the announcements, around 10:15 pm, we gather in a circle on the dance floor and those who have a birthday (or graduation, or are newly engaged, or any special occasion!) stand in the middle. A song is played and different partners jump in to dance with you for a bit.
If you’d like to have a party during JNO, you are welcome! We suggest showing up at 8:00 pm if you need to set up a table for your party.
No party fees are charged.
For discounted entrance, learn about volunteering with JIVE!

Whose Live Anyway?
2025-04-04 19:30 | Holland Performing Arts Center, 1200 Douglas St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
You’ve seen them make up scenes right before your eyes on the TV show Whose Line is it Anyway —now see them live and in person! Whose Live Anyway? is 90 minutes of hilarious improvised comedy and song all based on audience suggestions. Cast members Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, Jeff B. Davis, and Joel Murray will leave you gasping with the very witty scenes they invent before your eyes. Audience participation is key to the show so bring your suggestions and you might be asked to join the cast onstage! Whose Live Anyway? showcases some of the improv games made famous on the long-running TV show as well as some exciting new ones, featuring musical direction by Bob Derkach.

The show is rife with countless gags, one-liners, hilarious games and songs so good you will hardly believe they were made up on the spot. The teamwork and trust that it takes to perform a show with no script is apparent, but when the best of the best do it, they do it effortlessly. Watch them build entire scenes, characters, and storylines right before your eyes as they take you on a white-knuckle ride through endless chuckles.

Ryan Stiles’ television credits include roles on The Drew Carey Show and Two and a Half Men, while Greg Proops has lent his vocal talents to animated characters in Star Wars: Episode 1, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Brother Bear. Both performers got their start as comedians and are excited to return to their funny-bone-tickling roots.

Jeff B. Davis is also a highly experienced improv comedian and starred in the cult classic cartoon series, Harmonquest. He has also starred in Drew Carey’s Green Screen Show and Improv-a-Ganza, while gaining fame for his spot-on impressions of Christoper Walken, Keanu Reeves, and Jeff Goldblum.

Joel Murray is the youngest of the nine Murray brothers, including Bill Murray, but has become a star in his own right. Though he has over 250 sitcom appearances, he is best known for his recurring roles like Freddy Rumsen on Mad Men and Eddie Jackson on Shameless. He has also appeared in One Crazy Summer, The Artist, Scrooged, and Bobcat Goldthwait’s God Bless America.

—————————————————————————————————————-

‘The Sound of Music’ traces the ‘Family Von Trapp’ as Maria, a former nun and a new Nanny, begins her duties with the Von Trapp family and grows to love her new ‘family’. The delightful children have been dealing with a militaristic lifestyle instituted by their father, Captain Von Trap, but they soon warm to Maria and begin to love and accept her.

The musical is set during difficult times in Austria, as the rise of the Nazis party is beginning to threaten Austria and all of Europe. The ‘Captain’ struggles with his duty to his beloved country and his duty to his family.

Beautiful music abounds in this production–ranging from the playful ‘Do Re Mi’ to the touching and haunting ‘Edelweis’….and the inspirational ‘Climb Every Mountain’.

A JOINT COMMISSION BY THE ROSE THEATER (OMAHA, NEBRASKA) AND CHILDREN’S THEATRE COMPANY (MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA)
“It makes the ants in my tummy chill out.
I can take whatever is going on in the world and make it better and I don’t need a fancy job or a million-billion dollars.
All I need is a pencil, a piece of paper and my imagination.
Pretty cool right?”
Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There’s the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo—walking the same path, going to the exact same place—Milo realizes that you can’t really know anyone just by looking at them.

Opening Reception: "The Sky Is Always There For Us"
2025-04-04 18:00 - 21:00 | Radial Arts Center, 5915 Maple St, Omaha, NE, 68104, United States
The Radial Arts Center is pleased to present “The Sky is Always There For Us,” a solo exhibition showcasing original artwork by Sarah Craw.
The sky offers comfort, solidarity, and endless possibility, providing solace in moments of joy, despair, hope, or loss. For Sarah, the warmth of the sun has always been a source of comfort, and this exhibition reflects her journey over the past decade, capturing moments when the sky brought hope, clarity, and confirmation. Through photographs, journal entries, poems, and paintings, she shares personal experiences that continue to bring her joy and meaning. The exhibition celebrates the sky’s fleeting displays, from the soft pastels of dawn to the fiery intensity of sunset, contrasting heavily saturated areas with the simplicity of negative space and muted colors, capturing a range of moods from glowing clouds to stormy grays.
Sarah’s abstract work, like nature itself, allows the mind to explore multiple interpretations. She invites the materials to speak through texture and form, letting the water and canvas guide the process to something beyond her control. Her intent is to inspire creativity in others, leaving space for imagination to fill the quiet spaces in her art. Sarah was born and raised in McCook, Nebraska. Currently, she is a freelance artist living and working in Omaha, Nebraska, where she runs WordPlay Gallery.

Fabrics of Africa: Weaving Culture and Community
2025-04-04 13:00 - 19:00, 2025-04-03 13:00 - 19:00 | KANEKO, 1111 Jones St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
Experience the vibrant world of African textiles through the discerning eye of exhibition curator Suzanne Gunn. Raised in the villages of Kenya, Gunn’s connection to African craftsmanship was instilled through her mother, who stimulated Gunn’s appreciation for traditional artistry. This early influence inspired Gunn’s subsequent travels across the continent, where she built lasting relationships with expert artisans and collected extraordinary textiles reflecting both cultural heritage and artistic innovation.
“In recent years, fabric production has evolved to incorporate modern and traditional techniques, showcasing the dynamic interplay between innovation and heritage. This makes an African exhibit featuring textiles especially meaningful, as it highlights the value of both approaches in shaping cultural expression.
By celebrating the artistry and stories behind these textiles, the exhibit brings attention to their historical, cultural, and ritual significance while also acknowledging their continued relevance in a modern context. This platform serves to educate and inspire, emphasizing the rich legacy and ongoing evolution of these crafts, ensuring they remain vibrant and appreciated in an ever-changing world.”
-Suzanne Gunn, Curator
The exhibition includes an interactive element for visitors, who are invited to contribute to a digital tapestry created through traditional African design elements. As each individual pattern is woven into the whole, the growing, evolving piece celebrates both African textiles and our interconnectedness.

Vesper Concerts presents Ryan & Ryan
2025-04-03 19:00 | Presbyterian Church of the Cross, 1517 S 114th St, Omaha, NE, 68114, United States
Ryan & Ryan is a dynamic father-son piano duo that draws upon classic and contemporary music to create enthralling concert experiences. From Rachmaninoff to Gershwin to Billy Joel, Donald and Barron Ryan combine their talents to create a dazzling blend of old and new schools.
A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Donald came to the United States to study music, earning degrees from Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa. He is well known as a master of diverse styles—evidenced by a diploma from the 9th International Chopin Competition as well as his induction into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. Donald has also earned the distinction of being among the most accomplished pianists in the world as a Steinway Artist.
Given his father’s profession, Barron’s choice of playing the piano is no surprise, and he has been no stranger to the stage since the age of four. He distinguished himself in piano studies at the University of Oklahoma and has been a featured soloist across the United States and internationally. Barron is also an experienced composer, and in 2021, was named one of “Ten Innovators To Watch” by Smithsonian Magazine.
As a performing team, Donald and Barron amaze audiences with their skill, expressiveness, and love of making music. Their experience in classical, jazz, ragtime, and funk allows them to create exciting new music and give fresh interpretations of old. Audiences everywhere have been thrilled by their renditions of selections from Grusin’s The Firm soundtrack and Rachmaninoff’s Second Suite for Two Pianos. Their performance of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue has always earned a standing ovation.
The pair also emphasizes education. Each pianist has had extensive experience as a featured performer/speaker in the classroom—from elementary through university level—and so the duo understands well how to use music as a motivational tool for students.
Ryan & Ryan is a proven hit with audiences of all generations. Their inventiveness, infectiousness, skill, and general joy of life make for irresistibly engaging performances. To sum it up, they make music that inspires.

Bob Dylan: “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Tour
2025-04-01 20:00 | Orpheum Theater, 409 S 16th St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
American folksinger and rock-and-roll icon Bob Dylan is one of the greatest figures of the 20th century. Regarded as “the poet’s poet” by RollingStone in 1974, this 10-time Grammy award winner emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s, earning a reputation as a perceptive, powerful songwriter.

From his breakout and smashingly successful album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, in 1963 to his 2020 album inspiring this tour, Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan has sold tens of millions of albums over the years: even winning a Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

Over 18 months during his career, he released Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde, a trio of records that broadened the vocabulary of rock and roll, placing Dylan at the cutting edge of popular culture.

Dylan is a household name that spans generations whose narrative-style ballads and stream-of-consciousness lyrics have held the grip of millions since the 1960s with songs like “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” “Like a Rollin’ Stone,” “Tangled Up In Blue,” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.” Bob Dylan’s career has lasted the better part of 50 years now and he continues to evolve and push his work ahead. Bob Dylan now brings his iconic and timeless sound of the Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour to Omaha.
