November 20: Meeting
The Art of Imagination is happy to announce Project Blue Barn Theatre Partnership, a year-long theater event involving people with and without disabilities. Artistic Director, Jim Hoggatt will codirect the project with the well-known and respected Omaha theater artist, Amy Kunz. Auditions for actors with and without disabilities will be held in April and the project will proceed in four stages over the next year.
The first stage of the project will involve the development of an original story to serve as the basis of a play that will be performed in March 2016. The story will be conceived through ideas generated during a three month period of weekly development workshops run by Hoggatt and Kunz. Using visual and improvisation art mediums, actors cast in the project will work with the directors to construct characters and a plot for the play. Over the summer, the directors will embark on the writing stage of Project Blue Barn Theatre Partnership, meet-ing regularly to turn the ideas conceived during the previous stage into a script.
The next stage of the process will be the core actor rehearsal period. Kunz and Hoggatt will work with a third Omaha-area theater professional (TBD) to create the staging for the project. The final period of the project will be the full cast rehearsal and performance stage. All the actors will come back into the project for a three month rehearsal process culminating with three performances at the new Blue Barn Theatre currently under construction at 10th and Pacific Streets. The new Blue Barn Theatre will be The Art of Imagination’s new theatre home.
Project Blue Barn Theatre Partnership is being funded by a generous grant from the Developmental Disability Council of Nebraska.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
Page 14
Kerree TaylorFrom phone calls to all the mailings to many other things, juggling the inner workings of an office is never an easy task. In the last year and a half, Kerree Taylor has experienced a number of challenges in her role as the Ollie Webb Center, Inc.’s primary Administrative Assistant, but she has proven to be up for the challenge! We sat down with Kerree recently for a Gazette profile and the first thing she said about what she likes most at OWCI is that she feels like a family member at our organization. She says that’s the best part about it: the people.
Even though Kerree’s primary responsibility involves administrative duties, she doesn’t go half an hour on any given day without interacting with either the students in our education program or the individuals who participate in our other offerings such as job development, independent living, Ultimate Life and Food and Friends to name a few. For Kerree, that may be her favorite thing. She says, “I have an adult son with autism and I’ve always felt I’ve had a connection to the parents of the people who attend our services, not to mention the clients themselves.” Kerree went on, “I love their enthusiasm and how positive they are – one of our students often calls me ‘the lady behind the window’. I can’t say enough about how much I like that young lady.”
We should add that Kerree’s own sense of enthusiasm and positivity add an important dynamic to our team. She is help-ful, spirited and always smiling. At the conclusion of our interview with Kerree for the Gazette, Kerree said “Just tell our readers they’re welcome to stop in any time and visit ‘the lady behind the window!’”
Be part of a passionate team working to daily enrich the lives of individuals with developmental disabili-ties. Direct Support Professionals assist with teach-ing vocational, life and social skills in our Continuing Education, Independent Living, and Supported Employment departments. Hours are flexible rang-ing from day to evening to weekends.
