Forecast calls for rain

Tyler Rinne • July 21, 2022

This weekend, the forecast calls for SINGIN' IN THE RAIN JR.


Musicals based on or inspired by movies have become more and more common over the past few years, but there aren’t many stage musicals about the making of movies, as far as I’m aware.


"Singin’ in the Rain" is one of the all-time greatest films, and it accomplishes that by looking back at movie history while also bringing it into the modern era. The story of a trio of silent film stars trying to make the transition to talkies is supported by the great standards of the 40s and 50s written by Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown, two of the more prolific Hollywood songwriters of the era.


Our production involves another generation of entertainers, as it is performed by some of southeast Nebraska’s most talented young actors of today. Join us this weekend as a 21 st Century cast sings the songs of the 40s and 50s while presenting a timeless tale of Hollywood’s silent era.
