Dana College senior Lindsay Van Horn (Omaha, Neb.) will take the stage Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the one-woman show “The Moonshot Tape” by Lanford Wilson.

The 40-minute show is about a successful middle-age writer who comes to grips with her awful childhood when she returns to her small-town home in Missouri to visit her mother in a nursing home. It is a powerful and funny play, one of almost two dozen one-actor plays that have been done by Dana College students over the last 15 years.

The play will be performed in the Lauritzen Theater of the Madsen Fine Arts Center on the Dana College campus. Admission is free.

Van Horn is a majoring in music education and musical theater. She is the daughter of Diane and Bob Van Horn of Omaha. She is a graduate of Omaha Northwest High School.
