We had the opportunity to sit down with the talented team at Ollie Webb Center, Inc. to talk about their upcoming production of Looking Glass, an original play by Nebraska playwright Kevin Lawler.

Director Kimberly Clark-Kaczmarek, Artistic Director Jim Hoggatt, Education Director David Ackermann, and cast members Mary Kelly, Jordon McCoy, and Elise Arnold shared insights into this magical adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass.

A collaboration with The Great Plains Theatre Commons, this production brings a fresh, imaginative twist to a classic tale!

Tune in for our group conversation to hear from the cast and crew, learn about the development of this new work, and discover more about the meaningful mission of the Ollie Webb Center.

Mark your calendars for the Gala Performance on October 16 — an evening that supports the transformative work of the Ollie Webb Center.

Ollie Webb Center, Inc. is the umbrella agency for Career Solutions, Inc. and The Arc of Omaha, dedicated to enriching the lives of children, adolescents, and adults with developmental disabilities and their families through support, advocacy, and innovative programs.
