Actor Robert Carradine Coming to Omaha for Special Screening of "The Cowboys"
Film historian Bruce Crawford returns with another unforgettable salute to a Hollywood classic. On Friday, October 24, audiences will gather at the Omaha Community Playhouse to experience The Cowboys (1972), the iconic Western starring John Wayne, Roscoe Lee Browne, and Bruce Dern. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the event begins at 7 p.m.
This special evening features a guest appearance by actor Robert Carradine, who made his film debut as Slim Honeycutt in The Cowboys. Carradine went on to a long and varied career, including his beloved role as Lewis Skolnick in the Revenge of the Nerds films. Fans will have the opportunity to attend a meet-and-greet with Carradine as part of the evening’s festivities.
Tickets are $30 general admission and go on sale Wednesday, October 1 at TheJetAward.com , with proceeds benefiting the Jet Award Foundation.
Wayne, who was born in Winterset, Iowa—less than two hours from Omaha—remains one of the most enduring figures of Hollywood’s Golden Age. His legacy is celebrated in The Cowboys, a coming-of-age story that pairs his legendary screen presence with a group of young actors, including Carradine in his first feature role.
Join Bruce Crawford, Robert Carradine, and the Omaha community in celebrating this American classic while supporting an important cause.
