Why Are You a Season Ticket Holder?

Earlier this year, we asked several Season Ticket Holders to share why they love their Season Tickets at the Fox Cities P.A.C. For Glenn and Martha McKendrick, the decision was easy. They love theater, they enjoy coming to the Fox Cities P.A.C. and they don't have to fly all the way to New York to see great Broadway shows. Plus, they get to have a date night several times a year!

What's a Reading?

Since news broke last week that the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is brining Lombardi: A Reading by the Broadway Cast to Northeast Wisconsin July 28-30, people have been asking, “What’s a reading?” 

A reading is a dramatic run through of a play or musical in which the writing is the star. The actors read the script with a full range of dramatic intensity, but without the costumes, props and staging, the essence of the story captures your attention with powerful effects.
 
For most shows, readings are a key part of the creative process as the words of a playwright move to the stage. These readings happen every day throughout the country for plays as large as Broadway productions and as small as high school rehearsals. Sometimes they are private sessions, as creative teams work through timing and flow. After a play is produced, public readings allow producers to share a play with new audiences. 

Lombardi: A Reading by the Broadway Cast will bring the story and legend of Vince Lombardi to life with his famous words and the thrilling play he inspired by Wisconsin playwright Eric Simonson.

Turning the Clocks Back with Jersey Boys

Last week History Museum at the Castle had a great post about Appleton back in 1962 when the musical Jersey Boys takes place. It made me wonder, what else was happening?

As Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons hit the airwaves with “Sherry” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” President John F. Kennedy was leading the country through the Cuban missile crisis, John Glenn was orbiting the earth, a new vaccine promised to prevent polio, and an illustrator named Andy Warhol was stirring up the art world with “Campbell’s Soup Cans.” 

What was life like for everyone else? The average American earned $5,556 a year, lived in a house worth $12,500 and dreamed about filling up a Chevy 409 with gas at 28 cents a gallon. 

The Post-Crescent’s review said, “Jersey Boys is like being in a time machine,” and this week is your last chance to experience this Broadway hit at the Fox Cities P.A.C. Visit foxcitiespac.com or call the Center’s ticket office at (920) 730-3760 today to book your trip back in time!
