From a tribute to Elvis with Pat Dunn and the Omaha Symphony and a cool-looking new exhibit at the Radial Art Center featuring an homage to Mister Rogers, to new concert and event announcements, and Special Olympics Nebraska's "Polar Plunge" at Lake Zorinsky, it's a busy time for fun in the Omaha-Council Bluffs and Lincoln areas.
Plus, longtime Omaha-area band Rhythm Collective is playing its final show this weekend at the Slowdown (their annual "Bob Marley Birthday Bash"); and the traveling Broadway production of "A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical" is set to open at the Orpheum Theater. Deatilas and lots more in this week's edition of The Dispatch.
