Omaha Performing Arts

We had a blast with Ballet Hispánico in town! Here is a look from their time here in Omaha ?? As part of their residency last week, we were able to connect with other community organizations, learn from the artists themselves and see their work come to life on stage. Thank you to the entire dance company for sharing their knowledge and talents with us and our patrons!

This month, we're feeling lucky to call FNBO one of our corporate sponsors ?? "At FNBO, we understand the importance of access to the arts and creating opportunities for everyone to experience creativity, culture, and inspiration. Omaha Performing Arts helps make the arts accessible to all, from providing free community events to offering educational programs that inspire young minds. The arts build more vibrant, thriving communities and we’re proud to play a role through our support." Christina Kahler Managing Director, Marketing & Philanthropy, FNBO

A love of the arts can start at a young age and last a lifetime ?? That's why we're so grateful to Dorian Stanfield and Mutual of Omaha for their commitment to help us continue our mission of introducing the Omaha community to the performing arts! "I’ve been passionate about the arts since the age of four when I first started taking dance lessons. As a Mutual of Omaha employee, I was invited to join O-pa’s Presenters Circle, providing an opportunity to pay it forward through volunteering, fundraising and advocacy. As President, it’s rewarding to apply my business skills with like-minded community leaders committed to this work. I’m proud to work for a company that support’s O-pa’s mission with charitable dollars and volunteer support. Mutual of Omaha is a longstanding partner with O-pa, supporting a wide range of arts experiences that connect and inspire us all." Dorian (Dori) Stanfield Associate Product Owner, Mutual of Omaha

Omaha, you were a dream. Thank you for turning it out this weekend, even amidst the frigid temps. My heart is full from all that you reciprocated and I can’t wait to come back. ??

We had a fantastic time at last week's Lunch & Learn with Clue! John Shartzer, the show's Mr. Green, talked to our Young Patrons Circle, donors, and Super Subscribers about his journey to Broadway, explained what life is like on the road, shared some behind-the-scenes stories, and gave advice to aspiring actors. Thank you to John and everyone who attended for making it an afternoon to DIE for ??

While bringing a variety of performing arts experiences to the Omaha area is a clear passion of ours, it's also something that means a lot to several other Omaha businesses like Omaha Steaks! ? Here's what the company has to say about our years-long partnership: “My family understood that a vibrant arts culture was crucial to make a place like Omaha into a world-class city that attracts world-class talent… We are grateful to O-pa for continuing to make Omaha a destination, where locals and visitors get to experience arts of many cultures.” - Todd Simon, Chairman

Last week, our president, Joan Squires, was presented an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska Omaha! ?? All of us at O-pa are always proud of Joan and everything she's accomplished, but we love seeing the community recognize all of her hard work!

Happy Holidays from all of us at O-pa! ?? Our box office and administrative office will be closed Dec. 25 through Jan. 1 so our team members can enjoy the holidays with their families. Tickets can still be purchased online at ticketomaha.com. We can't wait to see you in the new year! ??
