Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE at Omaha Community Playhouse

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, running at the Omaha Community Playhouse February 10 - March 12, 2017 in the Howard Drew Theatre, is a classic western story of good versus bad and the law versus the gun. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast in costume!

Made popular by the 1962 film version starring John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is set in 1890 in the Wild West and tells the tale of a young scholar from New York City who travels west in search of a new life, but arrives badly beaten in the town of Twotrees. After being rescued from the plains, the town soon becomes his home. A local girl gives him purpose, but a fierce outlaw wants him dead. He must make a choice: to turn and run or to stand for what he believes; to live or to fight; whether or not to become the man who shot Liberty Valance.

Omaha Community Playhouse's production of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance has been named an official event of the Nebraska 150 Celebration, which is a yearlong celebration across the state of Nebraska in 2017 marking the 150th year of statehood. The Sesquicentennial is a strategic initiative that promotes a spirit of pride, growth, engagement and connection within our state by bridging Nebraskans across different communities, perspectives and cultures.
