The Backline has been Omaha’s home for “locally sourced” comedy for almost 15 years. We serve up laughs 4 nights a week. We were named one of the best nights in Omaha by  “Oh My Omaha”.  Whether you are interested in sketch, improv, or stand-up- we have great shows for you!

Dylan Oakes Rohde founded Backline in 2011 teaching improv classes in the basement of a small art gallery. Raised in small town Nebraska and graduate of Wayne State, Dylan then trained and performed at the top 2 improv theatres in Los Angeles (UCB and iO) before moving here to teach. Now he travels the country (and the world) teaching improv, helps run the Omaha Comedy Fest (also founded), a junkie for karaoke, plus working on a number of other projects including an animated series.

The Little Red Hen theatre provides quality arts experiences for Northeast Nebraska through participation in live theatrical productions, educational opportunities, and other cultural and community offerings.  Check out our season at littleredhentheatre.com!
