Northern Sky Theater playwright and actor Lee Becker has been performing in front of audiences for many years, but singing the National Anthem before 30,000 people at American Family Field last week was an entirely different experience. Admitting that he had some “stage fright” initially, Becker says he managed to stay focused and belt out the Star Spangled Banner successfully.
Becker, who sent his National Anthem audition recording last December to the Milwaukee Brewers, rated his live rendition last Wednesday as an eight out of ten and would jump at an opportunity to sing it at Lambeau Field. Performing next month at Northern Sky Theater’s Fall Concert Series with Doc Heide at the Peninsula State Park Amphitheater, Becker is looking forward to returning to the Door County stage again. The Northwoods Nightcap: Happy Hour Edition will feature music and stories at 4:00 pm on September 14-16.
