FireBelly Rep wants to say a HUGE HAPPY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY to one of our greatest friends, biggest supporters, a guy who always shows up ready to play: Andy Niess!

Chances are if you're in the Omaha theatre scene, you know Andy Neiss. He's worn a lot of hats (literally and metaphorically) for lots of years in town, and we're sure almost anybody could come up with wonderful things to say about him.

But here's what FireBelly specifically has to say:

- Andy is always all in. There is nothing less than 110% when this guy in on your team.
- Andy is supportive and excited about every project he's involved with. He's been a passionate supporter of our startup since day one!
- Andy is kindness personified. Seriously, there's not a mean bone in this guy's body.
- Andy is gracious and humble. He's thankful for every experience. We should all take a page from his book.

Basically, the FireBelly team are Andy's NUMBER ONE FAN! So, say happy birthday to Niess and play some Talking Heads in honor of him today. He'll be genuinely thankful for every word sent his way.

Thanks for being a team player, Andy! You're rad as hell. Here's an awesome picture from our Dungeon High program:

Well Hey There Campers!

Notice something different? Did we get a new hair cut? YES! Welcome to the new-and-improved FireBelly Rep page brought to you by the incredible Matt Bailey of . We are SO excited, not only for a totally rad makeover, but for our upcoming season.

Our second season is all about play. From an improvisational investigative podcast with a devised twist, to terraforming one of Jupiter’s moons from a playground in the heart of Omaha, we’ll dive into exploration and expansion with notes of noir, sci-fi, colliding artistic mediums, and an open invitation to join in the games.

Which reminds us...start following us now for more info on our current project: Panopticon. Our first Podcast began with the desire to explore the mysteries of human existence by investigating scientific, spiritual, and magical theories for our unexplained shared experiences, but we unravel a twisted road we weren’t prepared for. We promise it's a journey you’ll want to traverse with us but keep in mind, it's not for the faint of heart. ?

Have an idea? Want to be a part of the fun? The answer is already yes. Chat with us about the several ways to get involved this season and beyond. Message, email, call, smoke signal, pigeon carrier, we love it all and are ready to put you on the story-tellers seat by the bonfire.

Last, but certainly not least, a HUGE shout out to our Fire Starters from season one. Without your support, we wouldn’t have made it this far, and we’re so uncontainably excited to start sharing our projects with you. Want to be a Fire Starter and support FireBelly Rep? Email us at [email protected] or keep an eye out for fun ways to stoke the fire.
