You’re intrigued and have decided you cannot miss an opportunity to seek revenge on those who have crossed you in the past. Now, you are on a hunt for the perfect hat. What a fun lead-up to Mardi Gras!
Participants will receive a character to portray as they arrive at Arbor Lodge Mansion.

Orpheum Theater 409 S. 16th Street, Omaha, NE, United States

The Keith Sweat performance originally scheduled for Nov. 23, 2024, at the Orpheum Theater has been rescheduled to Mar. 1, 2025, at 7:30 PM. Keith Sweat, a Harlem-born R&B singer/songwriter known for his distinctive vocal style, co-produced 1984/1985 singles by GQ and Roberta Gilliam and issued independent singles of his own (“Lucky Seven” and “My Mind Is Made Up”), but he didn’t release his debut full-length for Elektra, Make It Last Forever, until November 1987. The album sold over three million copies, spawning the hits “I Want Her” (number one R&B, number five pop), “Something Just Ain’t Right” (number three R&B), “Make It Last Forever” (number two R&B), and “Don’t Stop Your Love” (number nine R&B). It was followed in 1990 by I’ll Give All My Love to You, another million-seller, which featured the hits “Make You Sweat” (number one R&B, number 14 pop), “Merry Go Round” (number two R&B), “I’ll Give All My Love to You” (number one R&B, number seven pop), and “Your Love, Pt. 2” (number four R&B). Sweat’s third album was Keep It Comin’, an R&B chart-topper at the end of 1991 whose title track was another number one R&B hit.
