We sat down with leading ladies Kerri Forrester, Lydia Edmonds, and stage manager Krista Freimuth, and Director Gordon Cantiello about their musical "Beehive" that opens July 10th and runs only until July 12th. This is a limited engagement! This isn't just a jukebox musical, but it carries stories of the times throughout the late 1950's into 1960's as well as into the 1970's. Kerri Forrester has three songs that are Aretha Franklin's that sounds like it is a "not to miss" performance!

We were able to meet with the whole cast for this new show by Voices in Alliance Omaha opening at Shelterbelt Theatre July 15th!

This is a thoughtful drama, described as a "memory play", about a family with their complex relationships. At the center is the character, Nut, played by Randall Johanningsmeier and the relationship with their father, a Vietnam Veteran who is struggling with being exposed to Agent Orange and dealing with his experiences during the Vietnam War. Nut's mother "France" as played by Kerri Forrester, and sister "Crimp" as played by Aisha Lomax, and his father "Julius" as played by Kevin Barratt also are part of this story. Can this family who want to understand and care for each other strengthen their relationships before it's too late?

Dates: July 15– August 1, 2026 (Wednesdays through Saturdays)
