On display October 5 through November 2
Wicked Plants features living specimens of some of the most notorious members of the plant kingdom. While there are far more heroes than villains in the botanical world, some plants are REALLY wicked. This display will showcase plants from our collection that poison, paralyze, puncture, intoxicate, eat flesh, and otherwise offend, some of which we commonly grow in our homes and gardens. Look at our diabolical specimens, learn how some plants earn their bad reputations, and discover the dark side of the plant world.
Included with paid garden admission ($15 + tax, $9 + tax for ages 3-12) or membership. Advance timed tickets are not required, but are available for purchase and expedite the entry process.
This event runs from 05 Oct 2024 through 02 Nov 2024 from 09:00 AM – 05:00 PM

Young Frankenstein
2024-11-01 19:30, 2024-11-02 19:30, 2024-11-03 19:30 | Bellevue Little Theatre, 203 W Mission Ave, Bellevue, 68005, United States
From L-R

Debbie Cline (Frau Blucher), Donovan Carr (Igor), Hannah Post (Inga), Adam Fulbright (Dr. Frankenstein)

Bellevue Little Theatre, 203 W. Mission in Olde Towne Bellevue will open its 56th season with the musical ‘Young Frankenstein’ on Friday, Sept. 13, closing on Sunday, Sept. 29. Performances will begin at 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday evenings and 2 pm on Sunday.

On opening night ‘Friday the 13th’ the BLT will offer free wine and cheese to all adults attending. The theatre also invites all those attending to come in costume for this opening night celebration. All those in costume will receive a free raffle ticket for the basket raffle which will be held at the close of intermission.

On Sept 27, a Friday evening, we will have ASL interpreters for the hearing impaired.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $15 for students with id. Reservations are requested and may be made by visiting blt.simpletix.com

Season ticket reservations may be obtained by calling 402-413-8945.

This adult musical follows the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein as he visits Transylvania following the death of his grandfather, the creator of the monster Frankenstein. The young man soon casts aside his determination to never become involved in his grandfather’s research and revisits his research. The results are funny and alarming.

NOTE—THIS IS AN ADULT MUSICAL WITH ADULT SITUATIONS–NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN

The musical, based on the Mel Brooks film which was released in 1974 follows the story closely. Mary Shelly ‘created’ the original book on which the film was based. The clever combining of Shelley’s book and Mel Brooks’ film produce an evening of delightful adult musical entertainment.

Jitterbugs' Night Out
2024-11-01 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!

Drop-In Sketching! We have all the materials you need for sketching works in the American Art galleries—a great way to slow down and look carefully at what you see.
Take some time to learn with a new interactive digital display that provides unprecedented access to the renowned Maximilian-Bodmer collection interpreted by Native American knowledge bearers. Ongoing in the American Art galleries.
Visit Studio 1 for an art-making project that focuses on creating adornments and learning about how trade impacted what was made by Native makers. Developed and led by artists and makers at the Bluebird Cultural Initiative. All ages are welcome.
The Founder’s Room is designated as a quiet space for this event, stocked with an array of books and games.
Don’t forget to check out more great spaces—The Cafe offers food and drink for sale, The Shop has beautiful art items for all ages and interests, and Art Works: A Place for Curiosity is an interactive space with nine different art activity stations (children must be accompanied by adults).

About the Play:
A new stage adaptation based on Paula Hawkins’ international bestseller and the blockbuster DreamWorks film, The Girl on the Train is a gripping mystery/suspense thriller.
​Rachel Watson longs for a different life. Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window every day, happy and in love. Or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.

Character Descriptions:
Rachel Watson
Gender: Female
Playing age: 30-40
Accent: British
Appearance: Any ethnicity and body type.
Content: Rachel will be required to kiss Scott and Tom. She spends a lot of the show drunk (but functional), and will be both the target and aggressor of physical and emotional aggression.
Rachel is the titular girl on the train. We meet her at a low point in her life, where she has divorced from her ex-husband Tom, after being unable to conceive a child. Rachel drinks alcohol excessively throughout the day, and is practiced at hiding her alcoholism, although that does not often work. Rachel is a mentally and physically challenging role, which will require a lot from the actor. She will be in most scenes, and very rarely leaves the stage.
Megan Hipwell
Gender: Female
Playing age: 25-35
Accent: British
Appearance: Any ethnicity and body type.
Content: Megan will be required to kiss Scott and Kamal. She will be the target of physical violence and discuss sensitive content matters around child loss.
Megan Hipwell is the girl Rachel wants to be. She’s a beautiful hipster who looks like she has the world at her feet, a woman that other women want to be, and one that men easily fall in love with. Despite appearances, Megan is unhappy in life, and often seeks comfort and excitement with men she shouldn’t be with.
Anna Watson
Gender: Female
Playing age: 25-35
Accent: British
Appearance: Any ethnicity and body type
Content: The role of Anna does not require any intimacy, and she is not the target of physical violence.
Anna is Tom’s new wife, who he had an affair with before leaving Rachel. Anna’s main priority is protecting her marriage and her baby, but she is able to stand her ground and make hard decisions when the time comes.
D.I Gaskill
Gender: Any
Playing age: Any
Accent: British
Appearance: Any ethnicity and body type
Content: The role of D.I Gaskill does not require any intimacy, and they are not the target of physical violence.
D.I Gaskill is the lead detective on Megan Hipwell’s case, and the only truly objective person in the show. They spend a lot of time with all the characters, getting mixed up in their lives, and trying to unpick the truth between them. They’re experienced and authoritative, but sometimes lose their patience with Rachel’s half truths.
Tom Watson
Gender: Male
Playing age: 30-40
Accent: British
Appearance: Any ethnicity and body type
Content: Tom is required to kiss Rachel and be physically aggressive with her.
Tom is Rachel’s ex-husband, who is now married to Anna. They have a baby, Evie. He is very charming and uses this to his advantage to attract women. Tom is central to Rachel’s story, as his emotional abuse and narcissism (which is hidden behind his charm and outward kindness) destabilised Rachel’s sense of self. He is a complex character to play, and pivotal to the play’s twist.
Scott Hipwell
Gender: Male
Playing age: 25-35
Accent: British
Appearance: Any ethnicity and body type.
Content: Scott will be required to kiss Rachel and Megan, and be physically aggressive with both of them.
Scott is Megan’s husband. He is very possessive of Megan, and after finding out about her infidelity, threatens to kill her, which makes him a prime suspect in her disappearance. Scott has a short temper, and is aggressive with both Rachel and Megan.
Kamal Abdic
Gender: Male
Playing age: Any
Accent: British, but perhaps with a slight accent (to be decided)
Appearance: Kamal is of Bosnian heritage, and is incorrectly referred to as ‘Asian’-looking in the play, Any body type.
Content: Kamal will be required to kiss Megan.
Kamal is Megan’s therapist, and has been helping her to work through her troubled past and find her sense of self. He has a short, but impactful romantic relationship with Megan, which he ends after regretting the unethical infringement. He is reserved and professional, but portrays a fatherly kindness and calm.
