Stage Door Theatre Company announces the 2014 summer/fall season lineup.

Rogue Theater will perform several shows at different locations around Sturgeon Bay in March and April. Including a murder mystery at The Lodge at Leathem Smith for Groovin’ Sisterhood Weekend on April 25, and at the soon-to-open Door County Fire Company (formerly The Ladder House).

March 4, Managing Director of the Peninsula Players, Brian Kelsey, accepted the 2014 Arts, Culture and Heritage Award for Tourism Excellence. Wow. That’s a big deal.

Auditions for the upcoming Rogue Theater’s production of The Belgian Detective by Carol Lyons, will take place March 8 at 3 pm at The Depot Performing Arts Center.

Souvenir opened at Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) on Feb. 20 and will continue its run through March 9. Souvenir is based on the real life story of Florence Foster Jenkins (played by Claire Morkin) – a wealthy society eccentric who suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano when she was in fact incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune.

I thought a bunch of grown women would bash men, share graphic sexual experiences, and pull audience members on stage where they would shout ‘vagina’ until their faces were rosy with embarrassment.

Take a moment and imagine the following scenario: you are locked in a room with two other people…forever. The lights are always on, there are no mirrors, no sleep.

The cast list was recently announced for the upcoming StageKids production of columbinus. The cast is composed entirely of high school students representing four mainland schools in Door County: Sturgeon Bay, Sevastopol, Southern Door and Gibraltar.
