BLUEBARN Theatre Presents "What the Constitution Means to Me" (Audio Described)
2025-09-28 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | BLUEBARN Theatre, 1106 S 10th St., Omaha, Nebraska, 68108
BLUEBARN Theatre’s 37th season is about to begin, and they want to remind all blind and low-vision theatergoers that they offer audio description for their live performances. To make sure we feel really welcome, they gifted us 20 complimentary tickets to the season opener, “What the Constitution Means to Me” by Heidi Schreck – A witty play about belonging and identity, this show explores how the U.S. Constitution has shaped—and sometimes failed—four generations of women in her family. Using humor and personal stories, Schreck reveals how the Constitution often leaves out women, immigrants, and marginalized groups, making belonging uncertain. It challenges audiences to rethink who truly belongs in America and invites us all to help rewrite the rules so everyone has a place at the table.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let’s get out and enjoy a night of live entertainment. Audio description will be available for both new and seasoned audience members. We have a limited number of free seats available, so please reserve your spot by September 19.

This is a day for the entire blind community, all organizations that impact blind and low vision individuals, and sighted friends and family of white cane and guide dog users. Cheers to all of us using these tools as a badge of independence. Tap your way over to the Brazen Head’s private party room to help us ring in National White Cane Day with a great group of folks. We may have less vision, but we always have more fun!

Audiobook Club - Heartwood
2026-06-13 12:00 - 13:30 | NE
We’re turning the page for book club, and we’re onto our second book!
Featured Book for June
Heartwood
by Amity Gaige
BARD # DB128729
In the heart of the Maine woods, an Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is 42-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her heart into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping. At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Main State Warden tasked with finding Valerie on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a 76-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Rolling between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental. The mystery inspires larger questions about the many ways we get lost and how we are found.
Our audiobook club will feature books available on BARD. Books will be chosen by and discussions led by different book club members. Meetings will take place at various coffee shops in the Omaha metro area accessible by public transportation. Exact locations will be shared with registered participants. Meetings will take place every other month on a Saturday. Attending the meeting is free, but coffee is not included.
