Concordia Theatre Presents: No Body Like Jimmy

The Concordia University Nebraska Theatre department performed four shows of "No Body Like Jimmy" from January 27- January 30. 

The play follows the Vanlandingham family, Harold, and Jimmy through a party they are throwing to fundraise for Eloise Vanlandingham’s senate campaign. Except there’s a catch. Jimmy is a dead body, and Harold and Ralph are trying to convince everyone that he’s not. This play is full of mistaken identity, legal shenanigans, and lots of slapstick humor. 

This play was directed by Hannah Watt and Haleigh Fitzsimmons, two Concordia Theatre Department Graduates.
