Time to FALL in love with the scents of the season, and we’re not just talking about pumpkin spice! Our host from last year for soapmaking, Jon, has invited us to Good Life Candle and Craft for candle pouring and wax melt making. With scents like Maple Butter Blondie, Virgin River, Cider House, or Mahogany and Mallow, getting cuddled up and cozy at home never smelled so good!
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.
**We are no longer accepting registrations for participants or volunteers.**
Teens, release your inner spider man! We are headed to the top, one rock at a time, at Approach Climbing Gym. This is an indoor climbing gym with professional belayers and verbal cues to help you plan your next moves, provided by Outlook’s adaptive sports specialists. We’re going to take your sense of adventure to new heights!
The blind community is as diverse as a patchwork quilt. We are individuals, but the common thread of vision loss also intertwines us. You are all invited to join us at the Joslyn Art Museum to create a piece of woven art using a loom and materials that represent you, based on your chosen colors, patterns, and textures. We will then combine all the pieces to make one big, beautiful piece of art with sections as unique as our stories and personalities. This event is free for all ages.
It’s time to jam out to live jazz music! This is a free community event put on every year by Omaha Performing Arts. The park will be filled with music and people, but we think it’s always more fun to sit with friends. The band that night is Brass Queens, a female-led brass band that features an all-female horn section. Their music is said to inspire an all-out dance party with a sound that combines the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Please let us know if you’re planning to meet up so we know who to expect before walking down to the park as a group. Additionally, please plan to bring your own blanket or chair, as well as snacks and refreshments.
