A Zany Mixed-up Love Triangle by Rossini.
The great one-act masterpiece from the composer Rossini, known for the popular
William Tell Overture and The Barber of Seville that has kept audiences humming
and laughing for 200 years. The opera is set in the late 50's at a summer
piazza in Italy. Hilarity erupts as Toby Mill attempts to marry his daughter
Fanny to Canadian fur-trader, Slook, only to find his plans derailed by the
antics of clever servants and passionate young lovers. This short comic opera
features a beautiful heroine, a devoted lover, an opportunistic father, a pushy
businessman, and two clever servants.

Theater Renovation Phase II and III is complete
Saturday, April 09, 2011 -
At the November Board meeting it was decided to continue the second phase of our renovation of the Theater. We planned to paint the upper half and to add a new lighting truss to include new lights. Starting in mid-December, Midwest Scaffolding starting putting together their “erector” set so that we could have a floor within seven feet of the ceiling. It was amazing to see all the pieces of steel tubing, bolts, nuts and plywood it took to accomplish the project. They filled cart after cart with “stuff” and then brought in a lift to bring the big pieces in through the 3rd story fire escape door. It was quite an undertaking.read more
Historic Stage Scenery on display…
Thursday, March 03, 2011 -
Albert Pike, Past Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction is accredited with writing our ritual back in the mid 1800’s. Although his vision was to have each of the 29 Degrees (4° - 32°) be performed in a lodge room, it was later suggested that they could be put on as a play on stage. The first such production was done in 1897 in central Iowa. Thomas Moses was commissioned by several Valleys to paint scenery in the first part of the 1900’s. He traveled the country painting scenery and actually painted the our original scenery here in Omaha in the mid 1920’s. That scenery hung in our Historic Theater until 1996. read more
Scottish Rite Omaha
Since 1851 Scottish Rite has been a force in the Nebraska Masonic World. Although records show that when Albert Pike, 33°, Grand Commander, visited Omaha he stated he wasn’t sure the Valley would ever become very strong. Leadership since that time has proven him wrong.
There was a strong Masonic movement in Omaha in the early 1900’s when the Masonic Building at 19th and Douglas, the Scottish Rite Masonic Center (SRMC) were built, Job’s Daughters, Omaha Masonic Home for Boys (now Omaha Home for Boys) and Rainbow International were established here in Omaha. Even the second Chapter of DeMolay (now oldest) was charted on the second floor of the SRMC in that time frame.
