A year that broke attendance records, brought our fifth anniversary milestone, welcomed an Oscar-winning icon back to Omaha, saw more special events and collaborations than ever before, and (believe it or not) delivered our very first screening of Charles Laughton’s THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, the visage of which has hung over our lobby since we opened our doors back in 2007.

The Night of the Hunter 1955
