$23 Million Raised-to-Date Toward Keystone Campaign

$23 Million Raised-to-Date Toward Keystone Campaign

$2 Million To Go

The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is pleased to announce that $23 million dollars of contributions and pledges has been raised-to-date toward the Keystone Campaign, a $25 million endowment fund to support the arts now and for future generations. The funds raised will provide long-term financial stability to the nonprofit’s long-range business plan.

The Keystone Campaign was publicly announced in Nov. 2012. At the time of the announcement $17 million in contributions and pledges had been raised during a quiet leadership phase. Over the last year and a half the campaign received $6 million from individuals and businesses that made muti-year pledges, cash gifts, legacy gifts or donated to memorialize a loved one who was passionate about the arts.

The Keystone Campaign supports the Center’s subsidized mission-based programs by:

• ·         Providing sufficient cash reserves to weather the volatility of the theater business
• ·         Generating capital for unanticipated challenges like downturns in the economy
• ·         Protecting and maintaining the facility by planning for long-term maintenance needs

Sister Act's Florrie Bagel Shows Her Backstage Space

As Sister Mary Patrick in Sister Act, Florrie Bagel’s character would probably have strict guidelines in decorating her personal space at the convent. But in her dressing room on the show's national tour, the actress makes herself at home with citrusy fragrances and a yoga mat. Check out Bagel’s tour of her backstage must-haves!

“I like to surround myself with uplifting quotes, usually on cards, colorful books or little scribblings. It's nice to have inspiring words around me.”

“This LUSH fragrance is lemongrass, patchouli and sweet orange, and it makes me so happy to put a little dab on. The solid perfume stick is really subtle, which is good because I don't want to flaunt my fragrance in the convent.”


“I got this amazing Aladdin tea infuser tumbler, and I take it everywhere now. Backstage, I make sure to take a big ol' sip in between ‘Raise Your Voice’ and ‘Take Me to Heaven.’”


“I love yoga, so my Jade yoga mat is essential. Yoga centers me and connects me to my breath. It also helps to combat the stiff shoulders and 'nun-neck' from wearing the habits and veils.”
