Yorkshire, John T. Price, The Fab Four and More | Friday LIVE

This week on Friday LIVE, we spotlight community theater, new literature, music and holiday performances across the state. Cast members from Yorkshire Playhouse share the comedy and mystery behind The Game’s Afoot, or Holmes for the Holidays. Author John T. Price discusses his new book, Goethe’s Oak: A Holocaust Story, ahead of a Lincoln appearance. We hear poetry from Stephen Buhler, learn how a musician mastered left-handed guitar for a Beatles tribute band, and preview Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!). The Nebraska Trumpet Ensemble and Nebraska Brass offer a look at their upcoming concerts, and KVNO’s Gabriel Escalera brings us a story on Omaha’s annual performance of Handel’s Messiah.
🎙️ Recorded live Nov. 21, 2025
