She will lead OCP as the organization conducts a local and national search to
select the next permanent executive director. <br /><br />Becky is a longtime Omaha
singer/actress and has performed at OCP numerous times. She served in a
leadership position as Visual and Performing Arts Curriculum Specialist for
Omaha South High School for 13 years; she retired last year. She also served as
executive director for the Dundee Dinner Theatre. In 2020, Noble received the
Governor’s Arts Award for Excellence in Arts Education. “We believe that
Becky’s knowledge of and passion for OCP and the Omaha theatre community
coupled with her leadership experience make her an ideal candidate for this
interim position,” said OCP Board President Camille Metoyer Moten.</span></p>

Justin is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join OCP’s Directing
Fellowship during its 2023-2024 season. He is an aspiring director and
can’t wait to learn from, and collaborate with, the amazing talent that Omaha
has to offer. This will be his first time jumping “behind the table” and he
looks forward to working as an Assistant Director for The Play That Goes
Wrong. Justin has had a passion for theater since a young age and has
spent most of his time working on shows as an actor/performer. He was
last seen on the OCP Stage as Mr. Spencer/Mr. Wagner in School of Rock.
Other recent productions include PLVCT’s The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling
Bee (Vice Principal Panch*), Chanticleer’s A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and
Murder (Inspector/Ensemble) and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
(Asher), and Ralston Community Theater’s Something Rotten!** (Brother
Jeremiah). He has also performed with the Omaha Symphony as part of the vocal
ensemble, Résonance. Outside of theater, Justin spends his time directing
healthcare providers as a leader and educator. A registered nurse by
background, he holds a Doctorate in Nursing Administration and Leadership
(Creighton ’22). Much love to his husband James for the constant love and
support, and a “pspspsps” to his cats Miss Honey and Georgie. <br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: "Red Hat Display";">Madison Roman<i> </i></b><span style="font-family: Red Hat Display;"><i>(She/her)</i></span><br /><span style="font-family: Red Hat Display;">Madison is ecstatic to be a directing fellow and assistant director-choreographer for Cabaret at the Omaha Community Playhouse.

Apprentice Program (TTAP) at the Omaha Community Playhouse (OCP) because she
wanted to further explore the technical aspects of theater. TTAP is a two-year
program, in collaboration with Metropolitan Community College, designed for
high school and early college students. Apprentices are given comprehensive
insight into the technical careers of the entertainment industry through a
blend of classroom and hands-on shop training. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;"><span lang="EN"><o:p><span> </span></o:p></span><span>During her apprenticeship, McCreary learned
about props, stage management, electrics and costuming. Although McCreary loved
working with all the OCP staff members and resident designers, the person
McCreary most admired was Resident Scenic and Lighting Designer Jim Othuse. He
has dedicated an incredible amount of time to OCP and he “keeps showing up
every day”. TTAP taught McCreary to work hard and never give up because there
is always more good work to do. McCreary graduated from TTAP in 2018.</span></span></p>

involved with several productions at Creighton University, Wayne State
University, the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, and the Oregon Cabaret Theatre.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;"><span lang="EN"><o:p><span> </span></o:p></span><span>After graduating from TTAP, McCreary attended
Creighton University, where she obtained a B.A. in theater and a B.S. in biomedical
physics in 2021. McCreary is currently attending graduate school at Wayne State
University in Detroit to obtain an M.F.A. in lighting design. Her dream job is
to be a theater professor.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;"><span lang="EN"><o:p><span> </span></o:p></span><span>“People should participate in TTAP because it
builds skills that are applicable in all aspects of life,” said McCreary. “Knowing
how to communicate, ask questions, use resources, and learn from others are all
skills that TTAP helped me improve and that I use in everyday life.”</span></span></p>

(TTAP) at the Omaha Community Playhouse (OCP), who has worked as a hair stylist for Broadway shows in New York City, has excellent memories from her time in the TTAP program.
TTAP is a two-year program designed for high school & early college students. Apprentices are
given comprehensive insight into the technical careers of the entertainment industry through a
blend of classroom and hands-on shop training. <br /><br />Paisley was attending high school at Millard
North when she made the choice to participate in the TTAP program. Paisley had a friend that
had completed the TTAP program, and the friend told Paisley all about it and how there were no
cons of doing the program. <br />As a TTAP participant, Paisley learned about props and wardrobes.
Prior to the apprenticeship, Paisley knew how to sew but she was not familiar with the
backstage world of shows.
In the TTAP program, Paisley learned many lessons. One of the most important lessons
she learned was to work hard. Paisley said, “I had no idea what it takes to put on a show. If
there is one weak link in the chain, it will not work. I would not be where I am without the
apprenticeship program.” TTAP taught Paisley the importance of a good work ethic, and she
learned that it is crucial for every show to have a great manager. </p><p>In addition, Paisley received a
comprehensive education about the workings of a show and the skills that one must have to
help make a show successful. She still uses many of these valuable skills today. “The
apprenticeship opened my eyes to a career that I didn’t even know existed,” Paisley proclaimed.
She added that assisting with a show is the perfect job for her because there is nothing she loves more than running shows. “TTAP really shaped who I am today,” Paisley said. </p><p>Of equal importance, Paisley especially loved the wonderful group of people she was
surrounded by in the program. She particularly admired Lynette Latchford, Amy Reiner, John
Gibilisco and Greg Scheer. Paisley made so many new friends, and the TTAP program
connected her to the theater community. Paisley still keeps in touch with many of the people that she
met in the TTAP program.
Paisley was asked what could be done to make the TTAP experience even better.
Paisley responded, “I just loved my experience so much that I’m really not sure if I would
change anything.” <br /><br />After the TTAP program, Paisley studied at North Carolina School of the Arts from
2004-2008. Paisley said, “Without the apprenticeship program, I would not have gotten into the
University of North Carolina School of the Arts.” Paisley said the school allowed her to meet the
right people and secure her job today. North Carolina School of the Arts had a 100 percent job
placement. Yes, you heard that right. 100 percent job placement.
At North Carolina School of the Arts, Paisley received her bachelor's degree in wig and
make-up design for theater and film. Paisley returned to Omaha and OCP each summer as
a college student to help run shows such as <i>Chicago </i>and <i>Ragtime</i>.</p><p>After graduating from
college, Paisley was on the road for about 10 years helping with various shows including <i>Cats</i>,
<i>101 Dalmatians</i>, <i>Priscilla: Queen of the Desert</i>, <i>Evita </i>and <i>Legally Blonde</i>. Thereafter, she
moved to Las Vegas to work on <i>Cirque du Soleil.</i> After Vegas, Paisley moved to New York
where she currently lives. Paisley was the Hair Department Head for Radio City Hall’s
<i>Christmas Spectacular</i>. Paisley worked on Broadway shows such as <i>Anastasia</i>, <i>Spongebob</i>,
<i>Waitress </i>and <i>Caroline or Change</i>. Paisley currently works for the NBC television show,
<i>Blacklist</i>, and assists with the soundtrack at <i>Saturday Night Live</i>.
<br /><br />Away from theater, Paisley loves to play tennis and watch Broadway shows. Although
Paisley very much enjoys assisting with Broadway shows, her dream job is retirement!
Paisley’s gratitude for the apprenticeship program is unmatched, and she can’t wait to do
what she can to continue to support OCP.

She is a 2016 graduate of
Westside High School and was active in the theater program there. During her
junior year, Liz Kendall Weisser, a director from the Omaha Community Playhouse
(OCP), visited Westside to tell students about OCP's Theatre
Technology Apprentice Program (</span><span>TTAP). Weisser explained that TTAP
was a program for high school and early college students that provides hands-on
training backstage and technical aspects of theater in partnership with Metro
Community College. Adia was interested.</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">When Liz returned to Westside during Adia's senior year, she
signed up. Adia was unsure about college, but she wanted to learn about a
career path in theater and thought she could make great connections through the
TTAP program.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;"><span>At first, Adia learned about the box office, props and stage
management. She realized she enjoyed stage management the most and focused on
that for the following year.<br /></span><span>Adia especially loved working with Lara Marsh, her former
supervisor who ran the Nebraska Theater Caravan. From Lara, Adia learned about
managing the company, planning a tour and how the backstage crew worked during
tours. "She was amazing, knowledgeable and had so many experiences that
she brought to the job that made her so good at what she did. She is an amazing
teacher, and I admire her," Adia said.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">TTAP did far more than teach Adia about the workings of a
show. As a result of TTAP, Adia decided to attend college and pursue a degree.
She attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, School of
Design and Production.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">At TTAP, she made key business connections and lifelong
friends. She still stays in touch with Greg Scheer, a production coordinator at
OCP, and associates with other apprentices in her program.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">What was Adia's favorite experience at TTAP? She loved
working on A Christmas Carol, a 40-plus-year tradition at OCP. She appreciated
that many individuals returned year after year to work on the production
backstage. Christmas is Adia's favorite holiday, and she had so much fun
working on the famous production. She made memories that she will remember
forever.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">Where is Adia now? Adia made a career change after college
and is a production coordinator at Limitless Creative Design Agency. Although
Adia is no longer working on performances, she uses the leadership and
organization skills she developed at TTAP. She now coordinates events for Nike
and other brands.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">In her free time, Adia reads, plays the Animal Crossing, watches Netflix, and takes care of her two dogs and many plants.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Manrope;">All in all, Adia learned so many valuable life skills from
the TTAP program. She is very thankful for what she learned at OCP.</span></p>

Soleil? Well, let me introduce you to Aaron Bush. Aaron was born in Omaha, Nebraska where he attended North High School. In high school, Bush loved the theater. He ran crew for <i>Arsenic and
Old Lace</i>. He was also a member of the ensemble and was a stage hand for <i>Grease</i>. In
addition, Bush worked on <i>Fiddler on the Roof</i> and <i>Splendor</i>, assisting with carpentry and audio
production. He loves carpentry and enjoys building sets.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">Aaron learned of the Theatre Tech Apprenticeship Program (TTAP) while attending North High School
approximately 20 years ago. TTAP is a two-year program designed for high school and early
college students. Apprentices are given extensive insight into the technical careers of the
entertainment industry through a blend of classroom and hands-on shop training. TTAP trains its
apprentices in the following areas: box office, carpentry, costuming, electrics and sound, props,
scenic painting, and stage management. A TTAP degree creates an educational pathway to
further degrees with credits earned through a partnership with Metropolitan Community College
(MCC). Given Bush’s desire to pursue a career in theater, TTAP seemed to be the perfect fit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">In TTAP, Bush worked on carpentry and video production. Bush had prior experience in video
production as he had worked for KPTM as a camera operator and video editor. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Manrope;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx4zaPNjce9Krp8DgsFhrRHqnEJKgyBWY64NH4JF-2z9n5ADa46pQKosIYuqzxpJ9PDZbRoY9khC3UJsTLMdQukZSpiqASGbcqqzwmw07d9CO1msmqkfcDEOGjXnH86EUgVOlOgZ-0i2SJHAZ5qZe6C70KQ97aoekbakeZlRPC901LGGyOPXlwGe8CqQ/s4284/CARP%20TTAP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2856" data-original-width="4284" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx4zaPNjce9Krp8DgsFhrRHqnEJKgyBWY64NH4JF-2z9n5ADa46pQKosIYuqzxpJ9PDZbRoY9khC3UJsTLMdQukZSpiqASGbcqqzwmw07d9CO1msmqkfcDEOGjXnH86EUgVOlOgZ-0i2SJHAZ5qZe6C70KQ97aoekbakeZlRPC901LGGyOPXlwGe8CqQ/s320/CARP%20TTAP.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Manrope;">TTAP helped Bush channel his strengths and to improve his skills. Building came naturally to
him so he worked in the scene shop. If his work was not his best, his mentors would tell him
what he did wrong and what he could do better in a positive and helpful manner.
</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">Bush especially enjoyed working with John Gibilisco, Greg Scheer, Don Hook and Bryan
McAdams. In particular, Bush admired Bryan McAdams, the shop foreman. He stated,
“Bryan was young and a presence in the scene shop. He was a very skilled carpenter and steel
fabricator. I think a lot of the apprentices looked up to him. Many of the apprentices wanted to
be like him.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">Bush also admired Lara Marsh, who helped apprentices secure opportunities with meaningful
jobs. Marsh helped Bush get a job at Nebraska Shakespeare. Bush was able to see what work is
like outside of OCP. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">In TTAP, Bush always felt like he belonged. He learned how to interact with others. He
appreciated the diversity of the people he worked with at TTAP. He felt that each person he
worked with had unique strengths. Although the team members at OCP were all vastly different,
they all came together to put on a show; it felt like a family affair. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">Currently, Bush is the lead carpenter for Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas,
Nevada. He helps with inspections, inventory, special effects, automation and many other
aspects of the show. Bush also is an on-call stage carpenter for America’s Got Talent Live at the
Luxor Hotel and Casino. He is currently living his best life, working his dream jobs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Manrope;">Outside of work, Bush enjoys woodworking, watching movies and riding his one wheel electric

She grew up in Pittsburgh, doing shows since she was three years old. It started with ballet recitals and grew into pursuing her musical theatre dreams at Point Park University. She is new to the Omaha area, but if you saw the 2015/2016 national tour of "The Producers" at the Orpheum Theater then you got to see her in action in one of her favorite shows! </span></div></span></div></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiazLQ9wVlhzRGmaOnBMSoxSDUzB5zgVoCdhRz5pL1BR5kkGkU436sUYrOiVTgUE2l-a2U03GVSlgCUqoB2c9sKF_2BxJV1U5P3NtsCWJ4H-RfDlOvQjs9jXeQpkX_bql1QrQl9SpAUzIzSwVCDFZRAULIa-62WrTIH192tJKB0ocuEVLkr3ofbvPxqIQ/s940/MANDIE%20p.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="940" data-original-width="826" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiazLQ9wVlhzRGmaOnBMSoxSDUzB5zgVoCdhRz5pL1BR5kkGkU436sUYrOiVTgUE2l-a2U03GVSlgCUqoB2c9sKF_2BxJV1U5P3NtsCWJ4H-RfDlOvQjs9jXeQpkX_bql1QrQl9SpAUzIzSwVCDFZRAULIa-62WrTIH192tJKB0ocuEVLkr3ofbvPxqIQ/s320/MANDIE%20p.jpg" width="281" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">
