Etta May
2024-09-21 19:30 - 21:00
Female Comic of The Year, with over 1 million followers on Facebook!
Etta May has performed her brand of clean-comedy on Oprah, Showtime, Comic Strip Live, MTV, and as a guest commentator on “CBS Sunday Morning,” Winner of the prestigious American Comedy Awards “Comic Of The Year,” and so much more.
Special guest opener Carollynn Xavier: The Recovering Californian
About Etta May:
Born in Bald Knob, Arkansas, Etta May grew up alongside nine older brothers, who referred to their baby sister as “the human sacrifice.” Etta May’s parents – her father, a potpourri farmer, and her mother, bedridden by constant childbearing – didn’t realize she was a girl until she needed a training bra.
Before finding success as a stand-up comic, Etta wandered from dead-end job to dead-end job, including a 10-year stint as a school bus driver. She says she learned how to handle unruly kids by Armor-Alling the seats and slamming on the brakes all the way to school. Her theory: “Kind of hard to pick a fight with the kid in front of you when you’re just holding on for dear life.”
Then she decided to take a chance on herself and follow her dream. Lots of hard work and drive, and a few years later, she won “Female Comic Of The Year” at the American Comedy Awards. It’s the American Story we are all told that you can become anything you set your mind to in this great country, and for Etta May, it worked!
About Carollynn Xavier:
Carollynn Xavier, better known on social media as the (Recovering Californian), is a fast rising STAR with millions of followers. Her fan base grows daily, and her stand-up delivers even more of a punch on stage. Her hilarious, warm, and endearing performance is clean and infectious.
Xavier currently lives in Nashville, having started her career in Los Angeles, but don’t let her California blood fool you! Carollynn has a newfound love of southern culture and hilariously shares her fish-out-of water stories as she is reborn to a whole new world.

Forever Simon & Garfunkel
2024-09-28 19:30 - 21:30
Tickets on sale now!
Forever Simon & Garfunkel: A Tribute celebrates the best selling duo in rock’n’roll history. With humor, soaring energy, charm, and laser precise harmony, Sean Altman & Jack Skuller lead the audience on a concert journey through Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s teenage roots, their early success as a groovy folk act, their global dominance as hit-makers, and even some of Paul Simon’s solo career. The Sound Of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, I Am A Rock, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Cecilia, Hazy Shade Of Winter, Feeling Groovy, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Kodachrome, and many more!
Award-winning singer-songwriters Sean Altman (Rockapella) & Jack Skuller (Songwriters Hall Of Fame Buddy Holly Prize) met on stage in 2010, when they were paired at a variety show to duet Mrs. Robinson. Jack had just celebrated his 14th birthday, and Sean had just celebrated his shiny new AARP card, but the audience found their December-January musical bromance and brotherly harmony to be enchanting and mesmerizing.
Jack Skuller signed his first recording contract at just 14 years old. His debut single “Love is a Drum” was called “arguably the best single released by anyone [that] year” by The Examiner, and The New York Post labeled Skuller “a mini Jack White.” His music career has since earned him a reputation for powerful live shows rooted in old school rock’n’roll. In his teen years, Skuller performed his original music for thousands of people across the U.S. as a Disney recording artist. He has been featured on the Disney Channel, FOX-TV’s Good Day New York, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, and with the GRAMMY Foundation. His music was selected for an ASPCA campaign, and is continually played on indie rock radio across the U.S. (including Sirius XM). The Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized his talent by awarding him the esteemed Buddy Holly Prize. Now, Skuller continues to produce his raucous, catchy brand of rockabilly and rock’n’roll that American Songwriter once noted as “analog, vintage, and cool, with a sincerity.” As NYC The Deli Magazine put it – “Buddy Holly would be proud.”
Ex-Rockapella star Sean Altman is “tuneful and sharply witty” (Los Angeles Times) and “relentlessly clever” (Chicago Tribune), with “catchy melodies, clever arrangements and lyrics that yield satiric gems” (Washington Post), combining “the tunefulness of the Beatles and the spot-on wit of Tom Lehrer” (Boston Globe) with a “silky tenor voice that produced chills” (New York Times). Altman — widely regarded as “the Father of Modern A Cappella” — co-founded and led the pioneering vocal group Rockapella through its heyday on the Emmy-winning daily PBS-TV series Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, for which he co-wrote the famous theme song. Original songs from his six albums have been featured on dozens of TV and radio shows including Saturday Night Live, NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, and Schoolhouse Rock. Altman has twice performed at the White House, he has shared concert stages with Billy Joel, Steve Miller, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno and Joey Ramone, and he has recorded with artists as varied as Steve Miller, XTC, John Cale, Richie Havens, and They Might Be Giants.

Livin’ the Dream
Songs You Know and Love. A Voice You’ll Never Forget
Everybody has a dream. Chris Ruggiero is living his.
As Seen on: PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS and Featured in Forbes & Rolling Stone

Described as “the next Justin Timberlake”, this handsome young man always wanted to be a singer and now finds himself, in his mid-twenties, an in-demand showman and social media superstar. He’s appeared on national PBS specials, shared the stage with music icons, performed live on Good Morning America, and is succeeding at wowing audiences in his solo show across the nation.
This rising young entertainer has created a live stage show that shares his remarkable story, while breathing new life into timeless hit songs of the last six decades, from the 60s and 70s up to today. One moment he and his spectacular band will be weaving a song by Adele into a Lionel Richie classic, and the next, marrying Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are” with the iconic “This Magic Moment”. All the while sharing his incredible Cinderella story that began with a dream of being able to make it as a singer and make people happy.
Now more than ever, people need to feel hope that they can make something of their own lives. Which is why Chris Ruggiero’s “Livin’ the Dream” delivers a musically uplifting experience that engages and inspires audiences and lives on in their hearts long after he leaves the stage. If there’s any doubt that what he’s doing is resonating with people everywhere, his Facebook page reached a staggering 63 million people last year.
And he’s just getting started.

Parker Drew in "The Twain Shall Meet"
2024-10-26 19:30 - 21:30
$27 – Adults
$10 – Students 18 and under, or with valid Student ID
A comedic acting tour de force!
For over fifty years, actor, musician, and TV and radio personality Parker Drew has delighted audiences across the United States with his portrayal of America’s greatest author and humorist Mark Twain. “Mark Twain Revisited ” has toured to 39 states and the US Virgin Islands in over 500 performances. In 1995, Mr. Drew gave his first performance as America’s most beloved stage and film actor, radio personality, and newspaper columnist Will Rogers, arguably the second greatest humorist in US history. It was no surprise then, that in 2015, Mr. Drew combined these two performances into “The Twain Shall Meet”, portraying both Twain and Rogers in one theatrical production. It is a comedy, and acting, tour-de-force, that offers the audience the opportunity to “meet” these two great historic figures, whose observations on the human condition are as funny…and true…as when they were first presented over 100 years ago.
Joining Parker Drew is guest musician Dan Weaver, whose guitar stylings provide an interlude between the two characters. From classical and folk, to jazz and progressive rock, Dan Weaver’s phenomenal musicianship completes an evening that will be long remembered by the audience.
And who knows, perhaps Will Rogers might be coerced into picking up a guitar himself for a grand finale!

The Drowsy Chaperone
2024-11-22 19:00 - 21:00, 2024-11-23 19:00 - 21:00, 2024-11-29 19:00 - 21:00, 2024-11-30 19:00 - 21:00, 2024-12-01 14:00 - 16:00
Presented by Ashwaubenon High School Performing Arts
Winner of five Tony® Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving, hilarious send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.

With the house lights down, a “man in a chair” appears and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

Hailed by New York Magazine as “The Perfect Broadway Musical,” The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterful meta-musical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre.
