Bemis Center For Contemporary Arts — Attraction in Omaha

My wife and I came down from Sioux City, IA, to Omaha to celebrate her birthday weekend back in late August. We were looking for something a bit different to do, so I reserved two spots at the free event called "Experimental Music Performance: Nadia Botello’s Other Channels with Omaha Symphony."

There's a perfect wind around to the stage area or on to the very clean bathrooms. Very pleasurable encounter at the merch table. Low key sales are refreshing and intelligent these days. The only suggestion of improvement I would make is to possibly adjust the AC output as the compressors are really loud towards stage rear. Pretty sure that's a non negotiable and the center is already aware, but just know that it...
