Humpday with Howard: Office Shenanigans & Student Rush Tickets

In case anyone thought the Nebraska Rep management team is all work and no play, here are a few pictures of us being goofballs (while still working hard, of course):

Joshua, Desiree, Stephanie, myself (my computer's there but I'm not), and Emma all take a break to look at some adorable photos of dogs

This Corgi Husky mix is one of our favorites

Much like our occasional shenanigans, the plays we're putting up this year are all filled with fun and humor. Tomorrow we open our second show, Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation. 

For those of you who don't know, fifteen years ago NRT, in conjunction with the University Program Council (UPC), began offering student rush tickets before performances. Fifteen minutes prior to curtain (so at 7:15pm for our evening performances and 1:45pm for our matinees) any UNL student can purchase a ticket for only $5. Rush tickets will be available before every performance, but we have a limited number of tickets, so get there fast!

Come Visit NRT at Fountain Frolics

This Thursday, University Program Council, a long-time summer partner of NRT, hosts the first Fountain Frolics of the season, and NRT will be there with bells on.  Throughout the summer, Fountain Frolics runs from noon to 1:00 PM every Thursday outside the student union.  Every week, they feature different musical entertainment and treats served up by UNL's own Dairy Store.  It is a great excuse to get out, meet new people, and enjoy the summer weather. 

The lure of fun music, hot dogs, and hanging out with UNL students is enough incentive for us here at NRT to leave Temple Building behind and enjoy a change of scenery.  So, come by and see us!!  You can find out more about the shows, get links to all of our new social media, and take one of our sassy NRT postcards.  We'll also be running a contest to give you a chance at a free ticket to one of the shows! Now, that is definitely worth stopping by for. 

In coordination with UPC, this summer we will be offering two student ticket specials: student rush and pay-what-you-will.  For student rush, if you show up ten minutes before the show starts, you can purchase a ticket for $5.  New to this summer, there will also be select performances (dates TBA) that are pay-what-you-will, meaning that whatever amount you want to pay us for tickets, we'll take.
