Introducing Nature & Technology
Our 11th Season of Productions
OmniArts Nebraska is proud to present our 11th season of productions and events! We look forward to working with talented actors, musicians, dancers, and artists and seeing our supportive, engaged, and enthusiastic audiences. Save the dates below! You don't want to miss these performances!
A person can take a picture of a blooming flower in a park, or a doe in a woodland, with the phone they always carry. Satellite imaging can predict the weather accurately, but people still like to watch the sky. We close our homes to outside elements but bring in plants as decoration and animals as pets and companions. Technology has forever changed humanity’s relationship with nature. Still, humans are animals, of nature, and we cannot deny instincts developed over millennia of evolution, despite what the professional world, and polite society, would prefer to ignore.
Season 11 explores human instinct and memory, the hierarchy of social mammals, and ideas of dominance, submission, or harmony and how all of it is shaped by the continued advancement of technology.
Hunter Gatherers
by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
Directed by Jillian Carter
Pam and Richard are hosting their best friends, Wendy and Tom, for their annual dinner get-together. An animal sacrifice kicks off the evening, followed by a little more sex, violence, deception, revelations, wrestling and dancing than previous years. A darkly comic evening where the line between civilized and primal man is blurred, and where not everyone will survive long enough to enjoy the brownies for dessert.

Marjorie Prime
by Jordan Harrison
Directed by Dustin Witte
It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of disparate, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.

Happy Birthday, Lily!
by Jillian Carter
A new play by Jillian Carter that pays homage to La Cage aux Folles and very special sitcom episodes. Find out what happens when an estranged couple and one of their new partners all attend their child's birthday party! Hilarity ensues in a modern tale of losing and finding your identity behind the scenes of a princess extravaganza.
