You can catch two local kids take the Southern Door Auditorium stage this Friday two weeks before their residency at the Wisconsin State Fair takes place. Luxemburg-Casco alum Joey Theucks and Southern Door alum Noah Rass are a part of the 57th Kids from Wisconsin troupe crisscrossing the state this summer. Rass is the second Southern Door alum since 2020 to be a part of Kids from Wisconsin after Brady Tooley was part of three seasons. Entitled “The Heat is On: Summer Playlist,” the show features songs from summer blockbuster movies, Woodstock, and more. Cory Vandertie says they always get strong audience support for their Kids from Wisconsin performances, but there is extra enthusiasm this year because of Rass’ inclusion.

Limited seats are still available for the show, which begins at 7 p.m. The troupe will also offer a free Realize Your Dream Workshop for kids 7-14 at 4 p.m. If you cannot make Friday’s show, they will make a few more appearances before performing twice daily at the Wisconsin State Fair at the Five Nine Amphitheater.
