Feature Friday: A Farewell to '14

It is almost impossible to believe that just ten weeks ago, we were preparing to begin the 2014 Nebraska Repertory Theatre season. Ten weeks! In the words of General Manager Julie Hagemeier, "We went from April to August just like that!" But, you know what they say: time flies when you're having fun. And when you're creating wonderful art.

Today's blog marks the end of the 2014 NRT Social Media season. Coincidentally, today's is also the 100th blog post of the Nebraska Repertory Theatre on Blogger. In the past two seasons, we have posted one hundred fabulous pieces highlighting the many different performances, events, programs, and deals that have passed through the Temple doors and lived on the Howell and Studio stages. With every sentence typed, photo pasted, and blog posted, we have established more personal relationships with our readers and our audiences. For that, we thank you.

On social media, there is a very popular trend known as "100 Happy Days." In this challenge, social media users are challenged to post one thing that makes them happy for one hundred days straight. It is something that is sweeping Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, making the internet a happier place to be. Although the Nebraska Rep doesn't have 100 Happy Days to share, we would like to take a moment to reflect and countdown our favorite kinds of "100 Happy Blogs"we have had in the past couple of years:

5. Countdowns

If you have been a follower of "Behind the Curtain" for two years or even just two days, you've probably noticed that we have a thing for countdowns. Whether we are counting reasons why audience members should see a show, things we have enjoyed throughout the summer, or lessons we have learned, we love counting the ways.

4. Company Members

Every season, we are proud to welcome company members new and old onto the blog. With headshots and bios abounding, we always make it a priority to make sure that our audiences get to know who is marketing the show, who is creating the show, and who is performing the show. Whether it is through Emma's "Get to Know the Cast" blogs or following them through our daily shenanigans, it is important to us that you know who the Nebraska Repertory Theatre is.

3. "Did you know?" Background Stories

At the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, it is important for our audience members to not only enjoy the productions, but also to understand every drop that is put into it. That is why we love writing blogs discussing behind-the-scenes work, writer and play histories, and themes that come into play within the show (tea-time etiquette for Mrs. Mannerly, anyone?). When an audience member sits down to see a show or takes a seat at their computer, we want them to enjoy and learn more about the theatre we create.

2. Interviews

The blog and newsletter alike seek out unique perspectives from our actors, designers, and managers. Our blog contributors take the time to sit down with company members and ask them questions that give audience members a personal point of view within the different creative processes that go on at the Nebraska Rep. Through interviews, you get to know the people of the NRT as well as learn and appreciate what they do a little more.

1. NRT Special Events

Theatre people love being social, and they love events that help them be so. Many of our blog posts have either promoted or reflected on the many promotional and social events that we attend or host throughout the summer: Jazz in June, Community Garden Concert Series, Fine Arts Fridays, and opening nights! The management team enjoys planning, promoting, attending, and hosting these events, and it is our pleasure to share them with you!

The writers and contributors to "Behind the Curtain" thank you for supporting 100 successful blog posts, whatever type they be, and we look forward to sharing many more with you! As the 2014 season comes to a close, we would like to thank you for reading, supporting, and enjoying the work and art that we have created for you this summer. As NRT winds down and we move forward into the academic year, we hope that your support and enthusiasm continues for all that the Johnny Carson Academic Theatre Season has to offer. Who knows which students you'll see on the Rep stage in Summer 2015!

The Nebraska Repertory Theatre appreciates all of the love and support it receives from its patrons, especially throughout our 2014 summer season. Thank you for the memories and the page views! 

See you next summer!

Feature Friday: Opening Night Fever Pt. 3

And with that, our entire season is open! On Wednesday night, the lobby became a crime scene for our opening night reception. The menu was composed of Eric's Cheesy Mozzarella Bites, Agent Frank's Mini Franks, Karen's "It's Getting Hot" Wings, Agent Dwyer's Donut Holes, and Mrs. Meekly's Sweet & Nutty Brownies. We certainly had fun with this one. Check out the pictures from opening night, and make sure you've got your tickets reserved for Unnecessary Farce--it's a riot!

Billie Dwyer's Donut Holes

Karen's "It's Getting Hot" Wings

We have so enjoyed having you at our opening night receptions this season. Thank you for attending. But, just because we've run out of receptions doesn't mean you've run out of chances to see our shows! There are still THREE show-packed weekends ahead. Do you have your tickets?

NRT Excitement with Emma: Meet the Cast of Unnecessary Farce!

Our final show of the season, Unnecessary Farce, opened last night. You won't want to miss this hilarious farce with cops, crooks, and hijinks--oh my! Now let's meet the cast!

Joshua Waterstone (Eric Sheridan)
Joshua recently graduated from the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film with a Masters of Fine Arts in Directing for Stage and Screen. He directed Middletown by Will Eno on the Howell Stage and the film Phoenix by Cory Soukup for his thesis productions. This is Joshua’s first season acting with Nebraska Repertory, but you may have seen him as Director of Audience Development and producer of Destinations in 2012 where he directed Ryan Kathman in One-Ham Manlet. This season Joshua will be directing a staged reading of Other Desert Cities with Destinations. Joshua has worked as an actor, director and teacher regionally with Great Plains Theatre Conference, Outpost 12 Studios (NE), PlayMakers Repertory, Carrboro Art Center (NC), The Alliance Theatre, Georgia Shakespeare, Push-Push Theatre, Georgia Ensemble, Serenbe Playhouse, Fly-By Theatre, O.T.C. Improv, and The Horizon Theatre (GA). Heartfelt thanks to Virginia Smith for the mentorship over the years, love always to Anya.

Ian MacEachern Borden is glad to finally be able to fully embrace his Scottish heritage performing the role of Todd. Ian is an Assistant Professor with the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film. Last year he directed The Tempest for Capitol Shakespeare in Bismarck, North Dakota, and adapted Ana Caro's Siglo de Oro play, Valor, Agravio, y Mujer as Agravio for the Carson School.

Ian also founded the Lincoln Assassination Stage Combat Workshop, held annually at the Carson School. Finally, he would like to remind you that "if it's not Scottish, it's crap!"

David Landis (Mayor Meekly)

He lives in Lincoln with his lovely wife, Melody. Previous Nebraska Rep credits include Becky's New Car, M. Butterfly, Local Wonders, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Recently she played Aunt Kate in The Cripple of Inishmaan at Centenary Stage, and the evil Queen in Cymbeline with Shakespeare in the Parking Lot - yes - an NYC parking lot.

Howell Theatre

Humpday with Howard: Top Ten Reasons to See Unnecessary Farce

This evening the Nebraska Repertory Theatre opens its third and final show, Paul Slade Smith's Unnecessary Farce. Here's a list of the top ten reasons (in no particular order) why you need to see Farce:

10. The Costumes
Costume designer Nancy Konrardy is a seasoned professional from Dubuque, Iowa, whose costumes for General Hospital earned her two Daytime Drama Emmy awards for outstanding achievement in costume design. Farce's costumes are colorful and fun and even include some surprise tartan.

9. The Set
Darin Himmerich, who is the Scenic Designer and Technical Director at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, has designed a wonderful set complete with eight doors that is reminiscent of exactly the kind of motel where some seedy dealings might go down. 

8. An Equity Actor
Farce features one of our fabulous out-of-town Actors' Equity Association members, Carolyn Popp, who plays Mrs. Meekly, the mayor's wife.

7. The Director
Directing Unnecessary Farce is St. Louis native, Alan Knoll. You may have seen Alan during the past two Rep seasons on stage as Jeeves in Jeeves Intervenes, Phillippe in Heroes, Mr. Woodhouse in Emma and Dad in Making God Laugh. He's back again this year, not as an actor, but a director.

6. Cops and Crooks
Who doesn't like a good old cop 'n crook comedy? It's pleasure to watch new police officers Billie Dwyer (played by Katherine Nora LeRoy) and Eric Sheridan (played by Joshua Waterstone) try and prove to the chief that they're great at their jobs.

5. It's a Farce!
Featuring slapstick humor, a slew of rapidly slamming doors, and mistaken identity, Farce is a farce that will have you rolling on the floor laughing!

4. Television Theme Songs
Sound designer Michael Smith's pre-show and intermission music features some excellent and catchy television theme songs, both from today and from the past. And we're giving you an opportunity to win a prize: all you have to do is name at least ten of the theme songs played before the show begins and present your list to the house manager at intermission. If you name at least ten songs, you will have the choice to win a free beverage (glass of wine, beer, or soda) at intermission, or two free tickets to another Rep show this season!

3. Cupcakes and Refreshments 
Grab a drink from Meier's Cork 'n Bottle before show, or at intermission with a delicious cupcake from Le Cupcake! 

2. UNL Alumni Actors
The cast of Unnecessary Farce features three UNL alumni, David Landis (a JD Law graduate playing Mayor Meekly), Katherine Nora LeRoy (an MFA Acting graduate playing Billie Dwyer), Lucy Myrtue (a BA Theatre Performance graduate playing Karen Brown), and Joshua Waterstone (an MFA Directing for Stage and Screen graduate playing Eric Sheridan).

1. An Evening with the Nebraska Repertory Theatre is a Wonderful Night Out
With laughter, food, and drink, a night with the Nebraska Repertory Theatre is always sure to be excellent.

Feature Friday: Opening Night Fever Pt. 2

Circle Mirror Transformation opened last night with a bang! As you have come to expect from Nebraska Rep, an opening night reception was held in our lobby following the performance. We took this week's theme fairly literally--all of the food was circular, and we did our best to don attire with circles, polka dots, or shiny sequins to honor the "circle mirror" motif. Here are some photos from the reception featuring actors, designers, company members, and the most important of all: you, our audience!

Make sure to join us for our final opening night reception for Unnecessary Farce, next Wednesday, July 23. The reception will follow the evening's performance and the reception is free with your ticket admission!

Feature Friday: Opening Night Fever

Well, it's official: the Nebraska Repertory Theatre 2014 season is now open! Last night, the cast of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike knocked their opening night out of the park. To celebrate, the NRT Management Team put together a post-show reception to honor the hard work of the cast, crew, and everyone who made the production possible (including the audience!). To follow suit with the costume party that occurs in the play, the opening night reception was celebrated with all of the glitz and glam of a Hollywood costume party. Complete with clever names for the dishes and confetti reflecting the colors of the NRT season, a good (and delicious) time was had by all who participated. Take a look at some of the photos, and get ready to join the fun for Circle Mirror Transformation's opening next Thursday and Unnecessary Farce's on Wednesday, the 23 of July!

Food and decorations from the opening night of Vanya.
