You dab/blot paint on 3. I like the wood The drink options were okay, they had no seltzer's which I was bummed about. The bubbly on hand was great flavor, I got the peach flavor... YUM! The instructors were good, even though I had to wave them down for help. I wished they came around more often but they were attending to a party of 15+! This is a great birthday idea, be ready to spend 2.5-3 hours here to perfect your board!

Before the play started, the lobby was filled with a vibrant crowd that I assume were regular theater goers in the Omaha area. Many appeared to know each other and there was a real sense of community that was exciting to step into, if only for an evening. The theater itself is small yet cozy. I went to a Friday show, so the house was packed. Seats are first come, first served. So keep that in mind if you decide to use the restroom or arrive later after seating opens up. The play and cast was amazing. I heard from the regulars that this theater focuses on modern and cutting edge plays, which was in line with my experience. I paid $45 for my ticket, which I found to be reasonable compared to what I can expect to pay for theater in other cities around the country. Overall, I had a great experience! I would definitely recommend checking out their programming and coming in to support the live arts.

Amazing little theater; intimate and comfortable - though some people might be uncomfortable with…read morethe subject matter of the plays so check in advance! Case in point - for our first date, we went to see a Blue Barn production (it was in a different space before this theater was built). The play was about abortion and we still laugh about it after 30 years lol. I do admit that we pretty much knew that going in, but it was before the Internet really existed so we probably knew about it from The Reader. But, about the theater - it's really a special place, there is a bar with a nice selection of canned drinks (alcohol and not) and cocktails. I think they also have cookies. We saw a play last night, it was 80 minutes, no intermission, one-man performance. Absolutely amazing - The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me. This is something that you would see in The City, you know, edgy and sophisticated and deep, but also so funny. There is only ONE problem with the Blue Barn. It's small, and the performances WILL sell out, so you need to get tickets before they have all been sold.

It was very comfortable in there, I was prepared for it to be either too cold or too hot since it had been snowing. Intermission allowed time for the restroom and to get a drink/snack with plenty of time to make it back to your seats.

We were greeted at the entrance by the kindest gentleman, who warmly thanked us for coming. Such a small gesture, but it set the tone for the evening. At the box office, there was a tiny ticket snafu, but the staff handled it quickly and got us squared away in no time. Before the show, we took a few minutes to check out the Titanic artifact display. I always love seeing pieces of history and how they're woven into the experience. Fun Fact: The bestie and I dressed up as the Titanic and the Iceberg for Halloween one year. I attached the picture for giggles. Also, be it known... I was the Iceberg, and I WAS THERE FIRST!!! Naturally, we headed to the bar to grab a drink and some water. The line moved fast, which we appreciated. Our first drink choice, the Cutwater Strawberry Margarita, sounded promising but turned out to be more of a shipwreck than a smooth sail. After a few sips, we tossed it overboard and went back for something else. No Cutwaters were harmed in the making of our evening, just given a respectful burial at sea. As for the show itself, it was fantastic. The props, the staging, the talent, everything drew me in. The story was told beautifully, and I found myself totally captivated. Omaha has some serious talent, and if you haven't been to the Omaha Community Playhouse yet, I highly recommend it. They're celebrating their 100th year, and from what I've seen, they've got a century's worth of magic to be proud of.

I don't know if the students of the college assist with private events but the sound quality for both were top notch. Just to give an idea of the layout of the facility. You enter on the upper level. You go down the stairs to go to stage level. If you are a performer there is a side hallway downstairs that takes you back stage as well as classrooms, practice rooms, etc.

This review is more about the venue than the show, as the show was a one-night event. Reviewing that would be useless. Seats: There's not really a bad seat in the house. A small balcony overlooks roughly 15 rows of seats. The venue is fairly intimate with the stage. Seats are comfortable and there is a good amount of legroom. Acoustics: Our event did not use amplification or microphones. The sound in the 4th row was pretty weak when the violinists began playing. Acoustics were not great, but passable. Ambiance: The interior and much of the foyer is a modern attempt to recreate a Roman or Greek amphitheater. It's interesting. Check in: There's no real ticket window, so people tend to gaggle toward whatever tables are set up for check in. Food/drink: There's no real concession setup. The team at the theater had coolers for drinks. We ordered a beer, Coke, and water for $15. The beer was Coors, the Coke was warm, the water was a mini water and warm. Pretty poorly executed. Policy: They posts signs requiring law abiding citizens give up their rights at the door. (The policy does not impact criminals.) Thus, the venue makes you a sitting duck.

Although they seem really attracted to the donation funnel in the center of the entrance. I was here for Arthur and friends. The Rose Theater Guild was selling snacks for just $1. As well as stuffed characters for $2. And they weren't small nor cheaply made. There were a few characters doing autographs after the show and they did a question and answer in the theater following it as well. You can rent booster seats or bring in your booster from the car.
