“Other Desert Cities” is the first of two one-night only Destinations performances featured in the Nebraska Repertory Theatre’s 47th season. The schedule runs through Aug. 10.

Other shows in the Rep’s 2014 season are the Christopher Durang comedy “Vanya and Sonia and Mash and Spike,” Annie Baker’s “Circle Mirror Transformation” and Paul Slade Smith’s “Unnecessary Farce.
