Fall is In The Air!


Classes









Come To The Cabaret!

Fall is in the air!  Students and teachers are preparing a cabaret-style presentation, to be performed on Friday, October 27th, from 7:00 to 8:00pm, at Rockbrook United Methodist Church (9855 West Center Road in Omaha).

Their presentation will include a musical theater/comedy skit written by one of the students.  Vocal solos and duets are both being prepared by students and teachers.  It will be a fun time of gathering of cast, family and friends.  The presentation is free to the public, with a free-will offering to be taken.  All are welcome!
