Stephanie Kahler is a first-year member of the Nebraska Repertory Theatre Management Team. She is not only taking on the titles of Assistant General Manager and House Manager, but she is also our Tuesday blogger! Throughout the season, Stephanie will be giving you her first-year perspective on all things Nebraska Rep: management, technical, performance, and everything in between. She's going to have a lot ready for you, but today you can relish in her account of one of Downtown Lincoln's favorite summer events: Jazz in June!
What an incredible first week! The management team is up and running, the crews have arrived, and Temple Building is once again alive with the sounds of productivity. This can only mean one thing: another season at NRT is under way! I’m still adjusting to all of the excitement of being a company member, but it already feels like home. I have no doubt that my first season with the Nebraska Repertory Theatre will provide me with fantastic opportunities and amazing memories. So, let’s get started!
I will be blogging on Tuesdays, which just happens to be the day for Jazz in June, an annual summer music festival sponsored by the Sheldon Art Association and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Every Tuesdayevening through the month of June, people from all over Lincoln gather on the lawn behind the Sheldon Art Museum to hear the smooth sounds of jazz, sample delicious foods, and enjoy the summer weather.
Tonight’s featured musicians are CALJE (Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble). They create their unique sound by combining modern jazz harmonies with various types of rhythm, including Dominican merengue, Spanish flamenco, and Jamaican reggae. Check out their website here, and come see them live, tonight at 7pm on the green space behind the Sheldon. The market opens at 5pm on 12th and R streets, with food and crafts from 25 different vendors. NRT will be there, too! Stop by our table located on the median of 12th street, and play to win a free ticket to a show of your choice! See you there!
