🌈✨ Happy Heartland Pride, Omaha! ✨🌈 Radio Theatre Omaha is beaming with love and pride today as we celebrate the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community right here in the heart of Nebraska! 💖🎭 Whether you’re marching, dancing, or just soaking in the joy, we’re with you every step of the way.

🇺🇸 Today, we at Radio Theatre Omaha honor the spirit of independence — past, present, and still unfolding. Freedom is the foundation of every story we tell — voices rising, truths revealed, and expression shared without fear. But independence is not a finished chapter. Around the world and here at home, people are still fighting to be heard, to be seen, and to be free. To those still in that struggle: we see you, and we stand with you. Here’s to liberty, to resistance, and to the voices that won’t be silenced. #IndependenceDay #RadioTheatreOmaha #CelebrateFreedom #KeepFighting #ThePowerOfStory #IndependentVoices

🖤❤️💚 Honoring Juneteenth 💚❤️🖤 Today, we commemorate Juneteenth—a day of freedom, resilience, and reflection. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans were finally informed of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At Radio Theatre Omaha, we honor this day by recognizing the enduring strength, creativity, and contributions of Black artists and storytellers. The Black community has long been a driving force in theatre, using voice and vision to challenge, inspire, and transform. 🎙️ This Juneteenth, we listen more deeply, celebrate more loudly, and commit more fully to telling stories that uplift and empower. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #RadioTheatreOmaha #RTO #BlackVoicesMatter #TheatreForChange #HonorHistory #CelebrateFreedom

🎙️ This Father’s Day, we’re turning up the dial on gratitude. 🎧 From bedtime stories to road trip sing-alongs, Dads have always had a flair for the dramatic — and we love them for it. At Radio Theatre Omaha, we celebrate the voices that shaped us — including the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, and father figures who’ve inspired, supported, and entertained us every day. Here’s to the storytellers, the pun-masters, the quiet heroes. 💙 Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Radio Theatre Omaha. 📻 Keep listening. Keep loving. Keep telling the stories that matter. #FathersDay #RadioTheatreOmaha #RTO #ThankYouDad #VoicesThatMatter #OmahaLove

🌈 Happy Pride Month from Radio Theatre Omaha! 🌈 This June, we celebrate the vibrant voices, bold stories, and powerful contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community—not just in the world, but right here in our theatre family. Theatre has always been a space where truth is spoken, identities are embraced, and compassion, empathy, and love take center stage. The LGBTQIA+ community has helped shape the heart of theatre with courage, creativity, and authenticity—and we are endlessly grateful. At Radio Theatre Omaha, we are committed to amplifying queer voices, honoring diverse stories, and creating spaces where everyone belongs. 🏳️‍🌈 This month and EVERY month is Pride Month. We stand proud. We stand together. #PrideMonth #RadioTheatreOmaha #LGBTQIA #TheatreIsForEveryone #VoicesThatMatter #CelebrateLove

🌟 Meet Francisco Franco — our Managing Director and all-around theatre powerhouse! 🎭 Francisco is a theater artist based in Omaha, Nebraska, and we’re lucky to have him helping lead the way as Managing Director of Radio Theatre Omaha (RTO).

He’s also co-directed powerful pieces like Perdido En Mi Cabeza (Blue Barn Big Damn Door Festival) and Mother Night (Omaha’s Fringe Festival), and you may have seen him perform in Dance Nation (Blue Barn Theatre), Meet Me in St. Louis (Bellevue Little Theatre), Stories On The Brink (Anastasis Theatre), and Down the Rabbit Hole (Radio Theatre Omaha) — just to name a few.

🎉 Say hello to board member — Brian Kokensparger! 🎙️ Brian is a writer, actor, and longtime professor at Creighton University, where he blends computer science with storytelling and digital humanities (yes, he’s that cool). He’s all about using audio drama to make a real impact — the kind that sticks with you long after the credits roll. He’s also a proud husband to Karen and dad to two amazing daughters, Anna and Kathleen — who are now raising the next generation of little audio drama makers. We’re so excited to have Brian on board and can’t wait for the creativity and heart he brings to the table. #WelcomeBrian #RadioTheatreOmaha #RTO #AudioDramaLife #BoardOfDirectors #StorytellingMatters #DigitalHumanitiesVibes
