News from the WISCONSIN UNION THEATER

Greetings!  

 

As we move closer to renovation day, we at the theater are proud to continue presenting you with a wide variety of world class acts.

 

This weekend, we offer you afro-beat artist and activist Seun Kuti, performing with his father Fela's band Egypt 80, and the revolutionary and acrobatic Pilobolus Dance Theatre. In the coming weeks, we welcome singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles, the Canadian musician and step-dancing family act Leahy, and distinguished American pianist Peter Serkin to our stage.

 

Plus, we invite you to our renovation closing events where you can join us in celebrating the great history of our theater and looking forward to our bright future. 

 

 See you in the theater,

 Elana Siegel
