On
Friday, July 19, the Nebraska Repertory Theatre (NRT) in partnership with the
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, better known as OLLI, will pay tribute to
Dr. Herbert E. Howe Jr.. Dr. Howe, or Herb to his many friends and colleagues,
was an advocate for the arts on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln campus
during his time serving as associate to the chancellor from 1988 through 2007.
Sadly, Dr. Howe passed away in November 2012.

Personally,
I enjoyed Herb’s wicked sense of humor. That’s why we chose a performance of
MRS. MANNERLY to honor him. I think he would have liked the character of
Jeffrey very much, and m-a-y-b-e even identified with him a little bit. A
very kind man, he was also very willing to give his advice and mentor those who
needed it. That sort of reminded me ofMRS. MANNERLY as well. We will
toast his memory with food and drink, let family and friends in the audience
know just how much we appreciated him, and then spend the next 90 minutes
laughing at a show I think he would have really enjoyed.
