Pre-Show Welcome Message

Season 100 starts in style

This welcome message greeted every audience throughout our entire run at the Omaha Community Playhouse. The last piece to the puzzle, completed right before the show opened. It became the perfect way to set the tone, some folks even cheering as the boys scamper off at the end. You can feel the characters' personalities shining through before the actors even take the stage.

"You ask four guys, you get four different answers" - Tommy DeVito

Local Commercial Spot

Bringing Jersey to Omaha

We wanted to capture the essence of Jersey Boys in a way that would resonate with our local audience. This commercial spot brings together the iconic style of the Four Seasons with a distinctly Omaha flavor, showcasing what audiences could expect from our production at the Omaha Community Playhouse.
