Book, Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
A steamy prohibition tale roars across the stage. Based on the widely banned 1928 narrative poem, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most pulse-racing scores ever written. Lovers Queenie and Burrs plan the party-to-end-all-parties to bring the spark back to their affair. Instead, Queenie’s wandering eye sends Burrs into a jealous rage. As the decadence reaches a climax, Burrs erupts. Gun in hand, Burrs turns on Queenie and her new lover.
The gun gets fired, but who gets shot?

Life has been chaos lately; you deserve a little treat. Lucky for you, nomadic California duo System Exclusive are back in the van, carry(ing) on spreading upbeat synth-powered dream punk all over these beleaguered United States. After 275 shows in two years across 16 different countries, these road pups just can’t shake the feeling they need to be swinging through your town and singing for the cheap seats.
Their latest release “Click” (a split release between Le Cepe Records in Paris, France and Mt St Mtn in Sacramento, CA) laced their mad scientists lab of bleeping and buzzsawing synthesisers with barbed wire guitars, anchored by the powerful pulse of live drums. Atop it all, Ari’s powerhouse alto, tough and tender by turns, drives the songs into emotional overdrive. For maximum results, wear dancing shoes and dress to kill.

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!

Paul High Horse: Unfiltered & Unapologetic
2025-06-19 17:00 - 20:00 | Joslyn Castle, 3902 Davenport St, Omaha, NE, 68131, United States
Over the course of his Artist Residency, Paul High Horse has worked with the staff at the Castle, planning monthly community outreach activities while creating a new body of work to be shown at the June 19th Art Walk at the Joslyn Castle Carriage House.
Paul High Horse is a member of the Sicangu (Sičháŋǧu) Lakota tribe. Son of a Lakota father and Italian mother, Paul was born in New Jersey; however, at the age of three, his parents moved to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota so Paul and his siblings could be immersed in their native culture. He lived on the reservation until he left to attend college at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Paul’s artistic philosophy incorporates a modern approach to communicate a rich historical context of the Lakota people. His art captures the symbols, traditions, and values inherent to the Lakota tribe. His work also explores different media including acrylics, archival pens, watercolor, and ledger paper. Paul currently teaches 7-12th grade art at Fort Calhoun Community School in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.
