American Folklore Theatre: This summer’s fare includes the world premiere of Bing the Cherry Musical. It’s story is described as “Hope, love, and laughter in the Cherry Orchards of Door County.” AFT will also bring back two very popular shows - Guys & Does and Lumberjacks in Love.
Third Avenue Playhouse: Offering a spring schedule including the ever popular Copper Box. This Sturgeon Bay venue has yet to announce the summer schedule. So we thought announcing their spring schedule would be a nice bridge to what lies ahead.
