How many Rosemary Rogers does it take to screw in a light bulb? 🪓 OR How many Josephines does it take to make a Belgain pie? 🥧 We love a reunion! ❤ Molly Rhode, Laurie Flanigan-Hegge, Suzanne Graff Gomes, and Amy Chaffee all appeared in those two roles from Lumberjacks in Love and Belgians in Heaven over the many years and many productions. What a treat to have these four under one roof! Now come see Amy Chaffee shine on the Gould stage in When Pigs Fly this autumn, M-F and TWICE on Saturdays! 🐷🥰

Congratulations on a wonderful career!
Happy Retirement, Dave! Enjoy your next chapter! 🎉🥂❤
David Alley was my first TD and my summers at AFT were incredible learning experiences. Even now I'll occasionally ask myself "How would Dave do this? What would Neen do?" I feel so lucky to have had Dave as a teacher. Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement!
David, thanks for sharing your many talents. Enjoy your next chapter!
Congratulations, dear David!! Hope your next chapter is wonderful!!❤️✴️
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your talents all these years. Where has the time gone? I remember you telling me stories about your trucker days a long time ago! Here’s to a new chapter🍻
Congrats, David! I know this man! And this shirt!
Happy retirement, David Alley! Thank you for all you did for that special stage in the woods and beyond. ❤️🎭🎉 Enjoy your next adventure. Much love.
Thank you so much for all you have done to make a wonderful experience in a fabulous park. I have 2 special memories of you. One afternoon the group was setting up to play in the park in Fish Creek (sorry I don’t know name)at bottom of 42. I had just got out of my minivan and I hear a male voice “Hey Ma,I need your help.” You had a sliver in your finger that happened while setting up the stage. I was a wreck,the pressure of getting it out so the group would have right stage,etc. My other favorite memory was when you let me sit behind you in your booth at Penninsula Park. I was fascinated watching you and Neen make sure all went correctly. Our family started in 81 and I’m very proud to say this past July we brought our 4 grandkids to see GOI. They loved it!! Thank you for sharing your talents with our family all these years. Enjoy your retirement. You really deserve it. Now maybe you could write a book about your experiences in your booth. “Ma Weinfurt”
Fine looking dude!
✨It's Dave Alley Day!!!✨ At the end of this year, Dave Alley is retiring after 35 years as Technical Director at Northern Sky.🔌💡🎤 We're throwing him a party tonight! 🎉 But we want to celebrate him with folks both near and far.

1988 was your first year? I never realized that. I was in that cast! The shows were “Ten Thousand Fathoms Down” and “Door Folk”. I remember all the things you describe very clearly! Great memories. Great life long friendships made! I love the video. Many pictures I never saw before! Wishes for many more years of love, health and happiness. 🥰
Congratulations David, thank you for your dedication and unique talents to Northern Sky. May your future days be blessed with joy and happiness.

As special guest-ing goes, Holly Feldman is no amateur in this category. She has been a special guest in Home for the Holidays multiple times and on the Jeff & Katie Show. Our intrepid associate managing director will be showing off her chops today during our VERY LAST performances of LIPSTICK OPTIONAL in the park at 4pm. It's your last chance to experience this special gem of hits from previous shows!

Go see this show! A delightful slice of Midwestern musical heaven.
So glad we saw it!
It was lots of fun tonight! Thank you ❤️
SO Goldang FUNNY!
We will be there in early October.
Now, I'm concerned that I look like a blimp but these are great shots, overall!
You might remember Suzanne Graff Gomes more from Door Shakespeare than from our stage...she was a cross-over actress between the companies. She's threaded into our history since the 1990s. And today you get to hear her lovely voice and her story during LIPSTICK OPTIONAL at 4pm in the park. #finalfridayinthepark

I have hit play on this video about 50 times! Just gorgeous 🥰
Saturday in the Park...Can you dig it? (yes, I can) and I've been waiting such a long time for Saturday! 🎶 Join Molly, Alissa, Lachrisa, Karen, and special guest KELLY DOHERTY in Peninsula State Park for feel good songs, fun stories, and LIPSTICK OPTIONAL laughs.
Kelly Doherty first took to park stage during our 2015 season in "No Bones About It" and "When Butter Churns to Gold" and most recently portrayed Rhonda in "Dad’s Season Tickets" in the Gould. She has appeared on the stages of Forward Theater Company, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, Next Act Theatre, and First Stage Theatre Milwaukee, among others.

Ummmm.....she was just in "Fish Whisperer" this summer so thats her most recent role. I'm out of town otherwise I would have come to see her!
Loved yesterdays concert. Sorry to miss the wonderful Kelly and hearing her sing Fisherman’s Daughter. Just one crazy request: any way to recreate the women storm from Windjammers? Always loved that “song”—such a cool device. See you next Saturday under a beautiful blue sky!
Happy Opening Weekend to our Fish Creek pals at Peninsula Players Theatre and their production of Baskerville. The game's afoot this fall!

What are you doing today at 4pm? How about heading to Peninsula State Park for fun times and great music with 6 lovely ladies?!?

Amy Chaffee has previously appeared at Northern Sky in Home for the Holidays (2015), Bob Dumkee’s Farm (2001), Belgians in Heaven (1996), The Passage (1994) and was the original Rosemary Rogers in Lumberjacks in Love (1995).

She does stand up in New Orleans, LA, where she is tenured as the Duren Professor of Voice/Acting at Tulane University. Ann K. Barnard Birnschein has been working with us for 16 seasons and grew up enjoying shows in the park since Heritage Ensemble days. In her spare time, Ann sings with her church choir and The Peninsula Singers, plays trumpet with the Peninsula Symphonic Band, and acts on stage in community theater.

Hey, folks! Lipstick Optional will go on rain or shine! 💄🌧☀️ Don't let the rain scare you away. If it's still soggy out at showtime, we will perform backstage in our covered breezeway! Here's a photo of the Jeff and Katie Show last year in the breezeway on a rainy day. Delightful as ever! See you at 4pm at the Park!

What a great shot! That’s some backdrop. Our breezeway show last night was so special!
Cyndy Stiehl is one of a kind, a real force of nature AND a classically trained mezzo-soprano. Come hear her add her wonderful tones to the LIPSTICK OPTIONAL concert today at 4pm!
Cyndy was one of the inaugural members of the expanded board who was first approached in 1997 by Fred Alley and Mary Seeberg to help guide and support the organization as it matured and grew in popularity after its founding in 1990. She has been tireless in her support of Northern Sky for 27 years—and she’s just such a joy to be around!
