This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! This will be a hybrid event, with both in-person and virtual attendance available (link available at a later time).

We would like to thank Omaha Performing Arts for being a partner throughout the years. We'd also like to thank the Omaha Community Playhouse for opening their doors for our students for our dress rehearsal.
