The Omaha Mobile Stage was envisioned in 2021 as a unique solution to help revitalize the Omaha arts scene and engage in post-pandemic creative placemaking. Partners for Livable Omaha collaborated with FACT and Actual Architecture Co. to transform a former mobile knife-sharpening truck into a dynamic, easy to use, mobile venue. The project built on the legacy of the Goodfellows Show Wagon, a mobile stage that served Omaha for decades until it was decommissioned. The OMS is a community and multi-disciplinary endeavor, involving architecture students, engineers, specialty fabricators, performers, audio-tech specialists and many others to bring the project to life. The stage put on its first season of events in the summer of 2022.
