This week...

The LUX Center for the Arts hosts a conversation with ceramic artist Gail Kendall and Lincoln Journal-Star critic L. Kent Wolgamott on May 15th. We'll have a preview.

Besides his day job as Nebraska Wesleyan Director of Choral Activities, William Wyman also leads Lincoln Choral Artists. Wyman will lead them in a concert called A CELEBRATION IN SONG at St Paul United Methodist on May 13th. The chorus will be joined by members of Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra and the South Central Nebraska Children's Chorale for Mendelssohn's "Symphony No. 2, 'Lobgesang,'" written in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the invention of printing. And, Wyman tells us all about the concert.

Lincoln’s TADA Theatre continues its special Showcase Stage musical series with THE SUPER SOUNDS OF THE SIXTIES for two nights only on May 18th & 19th. We'll get a peek at the production.

Sarah Peetz from the Lincoln Community Foundation drops by to preview the foundation’s community wide on-line fundraising event GIVE TO LINCOLN DAY on May 17th.

Also, want to be an extra in an actual movie? The UNL Carson School of Theatre and Film 2nd annual Screenplay Competition winner is currently filming in Lincoln. We take a look at the romantic archeological comedy DIGS with director Donald Petrie’s assistants, Joshua Waterstone and Dennis Henry, who are putting out the call for extras in a May 22nd shoot.

And, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UNL have collaborated with the Lincoln Community Playhouse for an old-time USO show. OLLI's Leta Powell Drake and LCP’s Morrie Enders say the free evening RADIO ACTIVE PLAYERS USO SHOW on May 21st & 22nd at the Playhouse have been so popular, they are already sold out. But don't worry, an additional performance on May 22nd has been added.

All that, a Ross film review and a statewide arts calendar.

That's on Friday Live at 9 a.m. Central on NET Radio, or as a podcast on netnebraska.org.
