SUMMARY:Pre-performance Discussion of August Wilson's "Fences"
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Union for Contemporary Art\, Metropolitan Community College and Great Plains Theatre Commons\, the Omaha Community Playhouse is hosting a series of community events in conjunction with the opening of August Wilson’s Fences on the Hawks Mainstage Theatre. \nBefore the opening night performance\, Dr. Khalid Y. Long and Wali Jamal will discuss the work of August Wilson and how he has impacted theater. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and learn more about August Wilson and Black theater. \nDr. Khalid Y. Long is a scholar\, dramaturg\, and director specializing in African American/Black diasporic theatre\, performance\, and literature through the lenses of Black feminist/womanist thought\, queer studies\, and performance studies. Accordingly\, his work pays close attention to the intersections of race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality within marginalized and oppressed communities. Dr. Long has published many scholarly essays and has written a book about August Wilson and his work\, to be printed in 2024. \nWali Jamal is a prolific actor based in Pittsburgh and is world-renowned in the theatre community as the only actor to have appeared in all 11 of August Wilson’s plays.

SUMMARY:Not Too Far Distant
DESCRIPTION:A new play by Becky Boesen\, commissioned by History Nebraska\, inspired by the life of Clarence Williams \n“It’s almost unbelievable that anyone could be hardened to the point of doing the brutal things they did…” A young man from the midwest is sent to war\, carrying with him the hopes of the free world. What Staff Sergeant Clarence Williams encounters there challenges and changes humanity forever. History touches the present when a new generation takes a journey through time to experience World War II alongside Clarence himself. Centered around his personal letters home\, we learn that sometimes what seems so far away is much closer than we think. Filled with hope and heart\, Not Too Far Distant honors the experience of the American soldier and reminds us that we all have the power – and the responsibility – to help create a brighter future. \nThe performance will be followed by a scholar-led conversation on Nebraska and holocaust history. \nTickets are required – $12/adult\, $7/youth\, free admission for veterans and auxiliary members – and may be purchased here.
