Major Activities

Activity 2

Omaha Performing Arts is dedicated to reaching all members of the community through its education and community involvement programs. These programs help to eradicate barriers that often prevent certain groups of citizens from having regular access to the performing arts. Throughout the past six seasons, OPA has increased the number of active participants in programs such as Arts Access and the Student Matinee Series, which provide free or deeply discounted tickets to students, educators, and community groups. OPA has also established a network of community organizations that it partners with in order to bring both new and established audiences to the arts. Collaborations have taken place with the Omaha Symphony, Opera Omaha, Broadway Dreams, Omaha Public Schools, The Rose Theater, BluesEd, University of Nebraska - Omaha Jazz Studies program, African Cultural Connection, Omaha Children's Museum, Film Streams, Omaha Modern Dance Collective, Joslyn Art Museum, Lied Center for Performing Arts (Lincoln, NE) and others. During the 2010/2011 season, more than 20,000 students, educators, and members of the community benefited from these programs.

Activity 3

The Orpheum Theater and Holland Performing Arts Center have hosted a variety of cultural, performing arts, and entertainment events in addition to the "Omaha Performing Arts Presents" series and national Broadway touring productions, including the Omaha Symphony, Opera Omaha, Ballet Nebraska, and national touring artists such as James Taylor, Anthony Bourdain, Lady Antebellum, Melissa Etheridge, and Mannheim Steamroller.
