The Heart Sellers
BLUEBARN Theatre, 1106 South 10th Street, Omaha, NE

Two vibrantly colored birds perch on a fork against a warm orange gradient background, with swirling white lines. The text reads "Bluebarn Theatre presents The Heart Sellers by Lloyd Suh," and the dates "February 5 – March 1, 2026." Art is credited to Anthony Deon Brown.

The Heart Sellers is a poignant and gently humorous play that explores identity, belonging, and friendship through the lens of the immigrant experience. Set in 1970s America, it follows Luna and Jane, two Asian immigrant women who meet on Thanksgiving. Over the course of one evening, their growing bond becomes a lifeline—and a revelation. The Heart Sellers shines a light on the often-overlooked stories of immigrant women, offering a heartfelt exploration of what it means to find connection, hope, and a sense of belonging in a new world.
Ages 16+ Contains some mature content and themes.
