Fun Home Programming Brings Community Together
This fall, OCP partnered with Orchestra Sponsor, UNMC, to provide the
Omaha community with special programming opportunities surrounding the
production of our season opener, Fun Home.
Opening night festivities included live drawings by a local graphic artist, an
appearance by the Dundee Book Company and information tables staffed by UNMC
and the Kim Foundation with information on mental health and suicide.
Throughout the run of the production, OCP hosted three post-show Talk Back panel
discussions on the topics of mental health and suicide, LGBTQIA+ and graphic
novels. The programming series was capped off with a Science Café event held at
the Slowdown that covered the psychology of stress, pain and suffering. Thank
you to all in our community who attended these special programming activities.
We are incredibly grateful to all of our community partners on who contributed
to this important project. We would like to extend a special thanks to UNMC for
helping to encourage dialogue and shed light on these challenging topics in our
community.
