    Milwaukee Rep - Stackner Cabaret


    World Premiere Event

    Music and great company in an iconic Irish pub

    Step in to one of South Kerry's most welcoming pubs, somewhere along the Dingle peninsula, where stories and songs flow as easy as a whiskey and a pint – with a group of master storyteller-musicians leading the way. From jigs and fairy tales, to drinking songs and war stories, you’ll enjoy good cheer and great company while having some craic along the way. The Irish spirit of love and resilience shines through in classics like “Danny Boy,” “Whiskey in the Jar,” “Star of the County Down” and “The Irish Rover” that’ll have you raising a glass and shouting sláinte by the end of the show!

    Estimated Running Time: 2 hr 15 minutes with intermission

    Milwaukee Rep - Stiemke Studio

    A spine-tingling theatrical event

    Direct from London’s West End comes the chilling and electrifying theatrical event that has kept millions of audiences on the edge of their seats for more than 30 years. Director Robin Herford’s production is a gripping study in atmosphere, illusion and controlled horror. A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the specter of a woman in black - engages a skeptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and hopefully exorcise the fear that grips his soul. As they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves ensnared in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. What happens next is something you must see to believe!

    “One of British theatre's biggest – and scariest – hits.” – The Guardian

    “…A marvelous exercise in spine tingling tension, spun from perfectly paced storytelling and stagecraft.” – The Independent

    Recommended age:  12 and up

    Approximate Running Time: 2 hrs with intermission 


    The Stiemke Studio is located on the ground floor of the Associated Bank River Center Rotunda in the northwest corner near the gold escalators. Typically seating just over 200, patrons may be seated in sections with various configurations including thrust, in the round or traditional banks of raked seating. The Stiemke Studio black box is a blank canvas for designers; everything in this space can be changed to suit the director’s concept for the show and no two shows in this space are alike.

    The outer lobby of the Stiemke Studio, where one first enters, includes a Guest Services Desk where you can check out assistive listening devices, check your coat or pick up a large print program. The lobby includes seating, standing cocktail tables, and bar offering drinks and concessions.

    Tickets:  Our Group will be seated throughout the small theater.  Seats will be assigned based on registration date.

    Group Lunch  is at The Public Market.  We will save tables on the  second-floor.  Each person is responsible for ordering, paying for and carrying their own meal from one of the nine unique eateries in the Public Market to the second floor dining area.  In addition to the nine eateries, there is a bakery, wine shop and bar, coffee shop, etc.  An elevator and stairs access the second floor and restrooms near the seating area.  Again, lunch is not included in your registration.

    History & Art with a Vintage Flair!

    Tuesday, March 18, 2025

    Registration deadline is Friday, February 21


    Just 55 miles south of Madison, is a gem of a city. Beloit is an active and vibrant community and the scene of our next great adventure! 


    Since its inception, Beloit has seen nearly 180 years of American history unfold. The town played a role as a way station on the Underground Railroad and actively participated during the Industrial Revolution thanks to the ingenuity of its citizens. Fast-forward a century to find Beloit’s workforce helping to meet production demands during WWII. During this time, the invention of Korn Kurls made big waves in the food industry. Innovation is still thriving in Beloit; only now, there’s a little more fun involved. Tech-savvy, forward-thinking businesses are building their enterprises in the little town that could.


    We begin our day’s adventure with visits to two museums on the Beloit College campus. Beloit College was chartered by a group of educated, innovative New Englanders in 1846—two years before the Wisconsin territory became a state. The collections at the Logan Museum of Anthropology are central to the curriculum of Beloit College and serve as a student laboratory and center of experiential learning. 

    The next campus stop is a visit to the  Wright Museum of Art. Established as a teaching museum in 1894 the museum is a space for experiential learning through a critical engagement with art – one that is visual, tactile, and intellectual. Students assist in curating many of the exhibits and engage in background research and help write the wall texts. They also help design the exhibit layout, frame and hang the artwork, and create marketing and educational materials. The Wright Museum holds approximately 6,000 works of art in its permanent collection. Significant collections include American Impressionism, Modernist paintings, a collection of 19th century plaster casts, German Expressionism, and Japanese Modern prints. 


    Following lunch, we are off to discover more of what Beloit offers. We’ll explore other small business boutiques and stores while discovering downtown Beloit including  Vintage Bliss - Found, Rescued, Reloved a leading antique and home decor store featuring the area's most talented vendors of repurposed items, vintage furniture, and more. 

    As always there will be a ‘surprise stop’ along the way!


    Lunch Options: (Indicate your choice when registering)

      • Turkey Dinner
      • Port Dinner
      • Chopped Beef Dinner
      • Vegetable Stir Fry with Rice
      • Sandwich TBD

        Linden Cohousing is an intentional, self-governing, cooperative community where residents live in privately owned units housed in a 45-unit condo building in east Madison. Neighbors collaboratively plan and manage community activities and shared spaces while maintaining their own income and private lives. Madison is home to four co-housing communities; there are about 200 co-housing communities across the US and more under development. Each community is somewhat unique but shares the principle that cooperative living facilitates interaction among neighbors providing social, practical, economic, and environmental benefits.

        For more information about co-housing in general and Madison’s Linden CoHousing in specific, see Lindencohousing.org

        Tour will include three residential units, parking garage, gardens (weather permitting), and community rooms. Attendees will be divided into smaller groups of not more than 7/group. We have an elevator for attendees as needed. The actual time for the tour is estimated to take about 30 minutes, with an extra 15 minutes to assemble and regroup.


        11:30-Noon

        Regroup, time for questions/answers and socialize with each other and Linden members. Tour should end by noon.


        Getting to Linden

          All Aboard!! East Troy Railroad & Yerkes Observatory

          Monday, May 12, 2025

          Registration Deadline is Tuesday, March 25

          We’ll begin the day with a private, one-hour tour of renovated Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay. Their expert, engaging, and entertaining guides will provide a fascinating program covering the Observatory’s history, architectural detail, astronomical research, and a look inside the 90-foot dome of the 40-inch refractor, still the largest lens-type telescope in the world! You will have the opportunity to visit the gift shop for some unique items found only at Yerkes.

          On our way to Yerkes Observatory, we will hear from Jim Lattis, author of Chasing the Stars: How the Astronomers of Observatory Hill Transformed Our Understanding of the Universe. Jim holds a Ph.D. in History of Science from UW–Madison and helped create UW Space Place, the outreach and public education center of the UW–Madison Astronomy Department and has directed it since its founding. He manages the historic Washburn Observatory; and teaches courses in introductory astronomy and its history.




          Then we’ll board the bus for a short ride to the East Troy Depot for our private chartered, two-hour ride and lunch on the East Troy Electric Railroad. UWRA member Evan Richards will be our guide and conductor.

          Just imagine yourself dining in the luxury of a dinner car with white linen tablecloths, china, silverware, and glassware reminiscent of the elegance of yesteryear. We will enjoy a leisurely ride down to Lower Phantom Lake while enjoying lunch and conversations with our table mates.

          We'll start with a House Salad & Italian dressing, followed by Chicken with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cream accompanied by Herb Smashed Red Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetable, Dinner Rolls & Butter. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are available for purchase. We’ll make a brief stop to stretch our legs and get some pictures at Indianhead Park in Mukwonago. A delicious slice of Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and dark roast regular coffee, decaf coffee, and hot tea awaits us on the return trip to East Troy. 

          *Individual dietary needs can generally be accommodated.  Vegan and Vegetarian options available.

          As always, the trip will include a surprise stop during the day!   After completing our visits, we head home. 

          Seating is limited, so register soon as the capacity of the dinner car is 50 people!

          Of special note:  The railroad cars were designed and built long before the ADA, therefore they do not meet current standards for accessibility. Passengers must be able to walk up and down steps to get on and off cars. The car is heated and air conditioned and has a restroom.

            History & Heritage of Green Bay

            Wednesday, May 28, 2025

            Registration Deadline is Thursday, April 17

            Join us as we uncover the rich history of Green Bay, the state's oldest settlement, and embrace the energy of its vibrant, growing community. With nearly 270,000 residents across Green Bay and Brown County, this dynamic destination is ready to welcome us with open arms.

            A step-on tour guide will give us a peek back into the heritage and history of Green Bay, famously known as Wisconsin's first city.  You'll discover the marvels that make it an exceptional place to live, work, play, and visit.  It's a draft-worthy destination where history is always in the starting lineup. 

            Oneida is a cultural haven, home to the Oneida Nation. With its rich heritage and natural beauty, Oneida is a truly unique destination. 


            Of course, the most recognizable feature of the city is its football team. It wouldn't be a visit to Green Bay if there wasn't a visit to the home of the legendary Green Bay Packers, the third oldest team still active in the NFL.  In addition to a lunch buffet at the stadium, we will have a champion stadium tour and plenty of time for souvenir shopping!
