NEBRASKA CITY – A free musical performance of “The Dream Switch” is scheduled at the Veterans Memorial Building parking lot at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29.

“The Dream Switch” is an original community concert event featuring live music by Natalie McClure and a band of seven musicians.

A post-show conversation will center on welcoming, belonging and how Nebraska City can further efforts to attract returners and newcomers, as well as retain those who currently call Nebraska City home.

“The Dream Switch” is a live original song cycle written by the award-winning, Nebraska-based musical theatre team Becky Boesen and David von Kampen. The story revolves around a young woman from the Sandhills who decides after her first year of college in Nebraska, that her happiness awaits elsewhere. “The Dream Switch” follows her journey as she leaves home, explores the world beyond, and then comes to her own understanding that “everything I needed to be me, was around me.”
