Blue Barn All Grown Up - After 27 years, Omaha's non-profit Blue Barn Theatre finally has a stage all its own to produce the best in boundary-breaking plays and other works that provoke thought and change. We get a tour of the new space (just south of Omaha's Old Market) from the Theatre's Artistic Director, Susan Clement-Toberer. Rez Ball - Experience the winning moments of the 2015 NSAA Boys State C-1 basketball game that made the Winnebago team state champions. 70 years in the making, their hard work and dedication captured the hearts of Nebraskans. Rockin' Down the Highway - If you feel the need. The need for speed. We are profiling the life of Nebraska businessman "Speedy" Bill Smith of Speedway Motors and taking a tour of the museum he founded - The Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed. We'll see some of the fastest cars in the world and feature a selection of the more notable artifacts in the museum's 28,000 piece collection. Highway Paleontology - We follow a team of paleontologists as they dig along Nebraska's highways where they uncover new clues to our state's paleo history.
