Name: Dick Walter
When honored, Dick Walter was described in a newspaper article as a "retiring impresario." But his work continued with a series of travel films at Joslyn Art Museum. The man described as having brought "more quality entertainment to the state of Nebraska in the last 40 years than any other man" also founded the Women's Town Hall lecture series in conducted overseas tours. He said "Man of La Mancha," shown in the caricature, was his most surprising box office hit. He is shown in the Face drawing holding theater tickets and with drawings of some of the productions he brought to Omaha, including "Annie," "Cats," "A Chorus Line" and "Guys and Dolls." Back to Top
