Origin
Good Fellows Show Wagon at Omaha’s Pipal Park in 1966. From the Omaha World-Herald/Robert Paskach Photograph Collection at The Durham Museum.
Omaha has a unique legacy of using mobile performing arts to build social cohesion.
Beginning in 1952 and lasting for 59 years, the City of Omaha Parks Department operated the Good Fellows Show Wagon as a youth talent competition. In its heyday in the 1970s, the Show Wagon drew hundreds of contestants and thousands of audience members from the Omaha area and beyond.
Among many who grew up, raised families and aged in the city during this time, it was a memorable and cherished feature of community life.
Omaha Mobile Stage (OMS) is a mobile, community venue for performing artists of all ages, and a teaching venue to train the next generation of creative workers.
