Playhouse offers free ‘Murder Ballad’ tickets

Update: All tickets have been claimed. Thank you for your interest.

UNMC’s community partner, the Omaha Community Playhouse, has a limited number of “preview night” tickets to its production, “Murder Ballad,” on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Employees and students may reserve up to four general admission tickets (with some bar seating available on stage) per family. To make your reservation, please email Kacie Baum with your name, department, and number of tickets needed. Once confirmed, tickets must be picked up in person, with a valid student/employee I.D. Tickets will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis as long as the supply lasts. Tickets must be picked up in the public relations offices on the third floor of the 4230 Building.

Plan on arriving early at 6 p.m., as the playhouse will have a guest bartender from The Berry and Rye serving cocktails from a bar right on the stage.

At 7:30 p.m., “Murder Ballad” will begin.

“Murder Ballad” is an intimate, sung-through indie-rock musical that tells the dramatic tale of a love triangle gone wrong. At the center of it all is Sara, a young mother and wife who seems to have it all but longs for her dangerous past and begins a love affair with her old boyfriend. As events unfold, the audience is along for the ride with every twist of the story. “Murder Ballad” is a steamy and fun thriller with a razor’s edge.

(The play contains situations of infidelity, adult language and mild violence.)
