About Silent Night of the Lambs

Join BLUEBARN as we travel to the North Pole where things are more Naughty than Nice and the snow has the scarlet tint of blood in this demented tale of mayhem and mistletoe.

Young FBI agent Clarice Starling, daughter of the once-famous Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, is assigned to the case of a lifetime. She must help track down ‘The Skinner', a mysterious serial killer. To get inside the mind of this killer Clarice must interrogate the North Pole's most notorious psychopath, Kris Kringle, aka Santa Claus. Santa's bloody rampage a few years back nearly ruined Christmas forever. Clarice hopes this jolly madman, now housed in an asylum for the criminally insane, holds the key to stopping ‘The Skinner.' Can she get into Santa's head before he gets into hers? Will Clarice's demons catch up with her before she catches up with The Skinner? Will those damn lambs ever shut-up?

About BLUEBARN Theatre

The BLUEBARN Theatre was established in the late 1980s with graduates from the Professional Theatre Training Conservatory at the State University of New York at Purchase. Seeking to continue the deeply shared artistic aesthetic and practIce That they had developed from their conservatory training, and also create theatre outside the constraints of New York City's commercial market, founding members Mary Theresa Green, Nils Haaland, Kevin Lawler, and Hughston Walkinshaw joined forces with Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts to produce their first play.

In 1998, the 10th anniversary season, the BLUEBARN moved into its current home, a beautiful ninety-seat proscenium arch theatre in Omaha's Old Market. The BLUEBARN also opened the Abbott/Pinkoff Gallery, providing local visual artists a place to display their work.

Now in its 21st season, the BLUEBARN has established itself as Omaha's premier contemporary theatre company. After producing over 80 plays since 1989, the BLUEBARN's reputation for high quality entertainment and pursuit of stories that challenge both the theatre artists and patrons is solid.
