June Havoc played Omaha's Orpheum Theater
when she was 5 years old. She was in vaudeville
then, in the first years of a career that would even
tually span five decades in show business.
This week June Havoc will once again be playing
Omaha. This time she will present her one-woman
show "An Unexpected Evening with June Havoc or
Baby June Remembers" at the Omaha Magic Thea
tre. Havoc said the show draws on her entertainment
background, especially in vaudeville.
"It was a special way of life," she said. "I believe an
enormous amount of craft and skill has disap
peared. They got me through and I love them and I'll
always love them. And that's what the show's
about."
Havoc first opened her show at a small experi
mental theater in Westport, Conn. She said she likes
the intimacy of small theatres and the interplay she
has with the audience.
"It's a very intimate show and I wanted to do it in a
very intimate setting," she said. "I wanted very much
to be with supportive people."
Havoc said she is worried about the lack of sup
port for the arts in this country.
"There's so many wonderful things that aren't sur
viving in this climate," she said. "People are doing
sit-coms they wouldn't look at in their living rooms
because they're making money from it. But they'd
rather be on the stage. I think a climate like that is .L.
very bad artistically. What is a creative person going
to do in an atmosphere like that?"
Havoc has starred in almost every area of show
business with the exception of professional wres
tling ranging from Broadway to films to televi
sion. She even found time to compete in a few dance
marathons, of which she said, "It was a time when
sadism was sexy and masochism was a talent."
She has also written two volumes of her autobio
graphy and plans for a third.
Havoc made clear the high regard she has for the
Omaha Magic Theatre.
"I really feel that Omaha is privileged to have this
theatre," she said. "I just hope Omaha knows what
it's got and will support the theater."
Havoc will present three shows this weekend
Friday and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2
p.m.
Tickets are available at the theatre box office and
by writing TIX, 1621 Howard, Omaha, Neb. Tickets
are $25 each.

Entertainment in Lin
coln may not be of the same
caliber as the entertain
ment in New York City.
But still, what's happen
ing in Lincoln is impor
tant. Many people here
are involved actively in
creating and appre
ciating the arts. From this
creative activity, we have
music to listen to, art to
look at, literature to read
and drama to watch and
enjoy.
Ifwesupportthese activi
ties the arts in Lincoln
can grow and mature and
Lincoln can develop a high
quality artistic culture of
its own. '
