Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Fish Creek & Ephraim (#612)
[Latest Airdate: January 4, 2018]
[Original Airdate: March 9, 2017]
Fish Creek and Ephraim are just minutes away from each other in Door County. While these communities are really different, they are both part of the same wonderful Door County experience. We're on the bay (west) side --- also known as the busy side. Indeed, John had a full agenda, as do most tourists who come to this part of Door County, but this turned out to be one of the most relaxing episodes because that's how Fish Creek and Ephraim are. You can't help but walk a little slower, talk a little less and smile a little more. Well, John didn't follow suit on the talk a little less part because he's a television host and talking to people is what he does. And what fun conversations he had at Lautenbach's Orchard Country Winery and Market, Edgewood Orchard Galleries, Wilson's, and with everyone he met. And since John spent a good deal of time here acting, he couldn't wait to catch up with both famous theater groups. The busy side of the Door in September. We highly recommend it!

Our Door County - Behind The Curtain of Door County Theater
Go behind the curtain of Door County theater in this video from the Our Door County series.
They didn’t know it when they started their tiny theater in 1935, but brother and sister Richard and Caroline Fisher were changing the course of Door County.
It began as a tiny stage behind the Bonnie Brook Motel in Fish Creek, a production they called Peninsula Players. Today Door County is known as a haven for the arts, whether on stage, on canvas, on paper, but in 1935 such a reputation would have seemed absurd.
In this edition of Our Door County, the monthly web video series about the people, places, and experiences of the Door Peninsula and surrounding islands, we look behind the curtain at Peninsula Players and talk with some of the talent that has made it thrive 81 years after that first performance.
Each summer actors, interns, costume designers, directors and staff funnel back to the Peninsula and Washington Island from across the country, drawn not just by the theater, but an atmosphere that has come to be known as a “summer camp for actors.”
What sets Door County theater apart from the rest of the world is its surroundings; here mother nature is your lobby.
“Most of the theaters in Chicago you don’t cry when you drive away. Here you do.”

Northern Sky Theater Changes Name from American Folklore Theatre

Find out why in interviews with Artistic Advisor Fred Heide and Artistic Director Jeff Herbst.
Conversations from St. Norbert College featuring Craig Blietz
Artist Craig Blietz discusses his work, including a recent exhibition at St. Norbert entitled Yard: The Art of Craig Blietz. The exhibit focuses on the rural environment of Wisconsin, its iconic farm animals and what they suggest about the landscape, their caregivers and human sustenance.
Blietz received his bachelor's from the University of Denver and continued his studies in art centers in Europe and the United States. He has exhibited his work in numerous museum exhibitions and won the Director's Choice Award for his painting Pastoral Dreaming in 2010.
Oklahoma in Wisconsin World Premiere at Northern Sky Theater
Introducing Oklahoma in Wisconsin – A charming musical homage to Door County that highlights the quirkiness of a family run inn in the 1950s. When a Hollywood scout pays a visit, the result is the birth of the tourist fish boil and the humorous clash of big city and small town culture.
Music by Matthew Levine, Book & Lyrics by Richard Castle
Narration by Artistic Director, Jeff Herbst

The Drowsy Chaperone - Trailer
This musical comedy spoofs, but still pays loving homage to, the frothy American musicals of the Jazz Age. A musical theater uber-fan seeks to cure his melancholy by listening to a rare recording of his favorite show, a fictional 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. As the album plays, his sparse apartment transforms into a glittering Broadway set, and he is, himself, gleefully transported into the musical. As the orchestra plays, we meet an attractive young couple on the eve of their wedding, a harried best man, a Broadway impresario, an absent-minded dowager, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a ditzy chorus girl, a very misguided Don Juan and a tipsy chaperone. Sit back and enjoy this smart, silly, bubbly and entertaining fictional gem from the Golden Age of musical theater.
AAS Eclipse Workshop 2017
On 21 August 2017, a total eclipse of the Sun will cross the United States from coast to coast, giving tens of millions of people in a 70-mile-wide path from Oregon to South Carolina a chance to see the solar corona and experience all phases of the eclipse. The Moon's shadow will sweep across the country starting mid morning in Oregon with just under two minutes of totality and reaching maximum duration of approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds in Southern Illinois before exiting over South Carolina mid afternoon.
Outside the path of totality, all of North America will experience a partial eclipse. This event, the first total solar eclipse to touch the US mainland since 1979 and the first to span the continent since 1918, presents a unique opportunity to excite people about science and connect them personally to the cosmos, as well as to conduct several important scientific observations. We are a working group dedicated to the science and public outreach of this unique event.
The Eclipse 2017 Workshop IV took place in Carbondale, Illinois, on Friday and Saturday, 10 and 11 June 2016, at the SIU Carbondale Student Center, hosted by Bob Baer and Shadia Habbal.
