• Oct. 2-13: Nebraska Repertory Theatre presents "The Legend of Georgia McBride." Lied Center's Johnny Carson Theater. For tickets and showtimes, visit http://www.nebraskarep.org. By Matthew Lopez. "The Legend of Georgia McBride" is a music-filled comedy with a huge heart. He's young, he's broke, his landlord's knocking at the door, and he's just found out his wife is going to have a baby! To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a small, run-down bar. When the bar owner brings in a drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself. Find out what happens when the 'The King' becomes a queen!
