Northern Sky Theater fans will experience a blast from the past next month as a part of their virtual Raise the Curtain gala. In honor of its 30th anniversary, the video airing on the night of the event will feature never-before-seen clips from past shows at Northern Sky Theater’s amphitheater at Peninsula State Park. Artistic Director Jeff Herbst says it is part of a larger pivot many performing arts organizations across the country have had to undertake after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out ticket presales and parts of seasons.
The Raise the Curtain virtual event will take place on May 23rd. Northern Sky Theater canceled its outdoor summer season and postponed the start of its indoor season at its Gould Theater in Fish Creek earlier this month.
