For the first time in over a year, performers of Northern Sky Theater will sing songs and tell stories under their two skies.

The performing arts organization made the announcement on Tuesday about two weeks after the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources gave its spring operations update. There the DNR announced that the capacity for open-air shelters, amphitheaters, and outdoor group campgrounds could be increased to 100 people with even more allowed for non-department-led events with the proper permits. The DNR’s go-ahead has also helped the organization’s negotiations with Actors Equity to bring the performers back into the fold.

Northern Sky Theater will perform outside at its amphitheater inside Peninsula State Park from June 14th to September 18th and inside at its Gould Theater from July 12th to November 6th.

Development and Public Relations Director Holly Feldman is just happy to hear the sounds of singing and laughter again.

Feldman says over the coming days, fans of Northern Sky Theater will be able to hear about the shows they will be performing, the safety protocols they are instituting, and how they can get tickets. That includes Wednesday’s announcement concerning its annual Raise the Curtain event and the virtual world premiere of a new musical.
