News from the WISCONSIN UNION THEATER

Greetings!  

 

What a semester we're having! We sold out the Gaelic Storm concert last week and have either sold out or are about to sell-out Gabriel Iglesias, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and Sara Bareilles, who was just added to our line-up. I hope you get to see some of these smashing successes! Even more so since this is the last semester in the theater before we go dark for two years of historic renovations. We will continue presenting a season during this time but the venues we'll be using will be smaller (so many more sell-outs!)

Enjoy the beautiful weather and enjoy our beautiful theater!
