"Our Town" by Thornton Wilder
General Admission tickets are available at the door.
$25 for Adults, $20 for Seniors and Students.
"Our Town" is a three-act play that explores the everyday lives of residents in the fictional small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, during the early 20th century. The narrative begins with Dr. Gibbs, who returns home after a morning delivery, and unfolds through the routines of the Gibbs and Webb families, including their children, George and Emily. The play poignantly captures themes of love, community, and the passage of time as George and Emily navigate childhood, adolescence, and ultimately, marriage.

Tales from the Taproom: An Adults-Only (21+) StorySlam Evening at PetSkull Brewery
Community Events
"Tales from the Taproom" returns for another evening of revelations and fun at a microbrewery known for camaraderie and shenanigans. It doesn't get a whole lot better than that! Besides—Everyone has a story to tell! Why not tell yours? No props, no notes. Just five minutes and a true, personal favorite story. Time to tell your tale! The important thing to remember is that this is an evening of true storytelling—not stand-up comedy, not poetry, not a platform for political manifestos or lectures, or doing a reading from an as-of-yet published post-apocalyptic neo-tribal zombie/cyborg saga. It’s a true story zone.
And this time around, we're adding a special twist—we'll be moving things from the indoor taproom to the outdoor beer garden for an evening of open-air storytelling! Which, not surprisingly, leads directly to the theme for this evening at PetSkull Brewing Company sponsored by Seehafer Broadcasting from 6-8 PM on Thursday, September 17—"The Great Outdoors!"

Paranormal Wisconsin—Tales of Ghosts, UFOs, and Mysterious Creatures with Chad Lewis
Community Events
This presentation—taking place in Manitowoc Public Library’s Balkansky Community Room from 6-7 PM on Thursday, September 18—is an eerie combination of the most bizarre paranormal topics. I have combined my strangest cases of alien abductions, haunted places, mysterious creatures, crop circles, and everything else weird and unusual. This program covers the entire spectrum of Wisconsin's supernatural activity. For over two decades, Chad Lewis has traveled the backroads of the world in search of the strange and unusual. Chad has been featured on the Discovery Channel’s A Haunting, William Shatner's Weird or What and The UnXplained, and ABC's Scariest Places on Earth, along with being a frequent contributor on Ripley's Believe it or Not Radio. With a Master’s Degree in Psychology, Chad has authored over twenty books in the strange and unusual. The more bizarre the legend, the more likely it is that you will find Chad there.
