“Hello? Operator? I’m trying to call to get tickets for George and Gracie at Northern Sky and I can’t get though!”
We apologize but Door County is experiencing an internet outage so our phones haven’t been working properly. But not to fear! We will be back up and running asap. In the meantime, feel free to send us an email at boxoffice@northernskytheater.com for questions or to leave us a ticket request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we are able.

Will Constance Goodwin be able to pay the mortgage?
Will Friederich von Fouler's true identity be revealed?
Will the raccoon prophecy of the golden sapphire come true?
Will the sidekicks finally be able to sing their inner most thoughts?
You only have TWO more chances to find out what happens in "When Butter Churns to Gold" tonight and Friday at 7:30pm in Peninsula State Park. 🧈

"Northern Sky Theater is a true gem of Door County! We make it a point to attend 2-3 shows on every visit and have enjoyed them all. The production of 'When Butter Churns to Gold' this season was especially fun with interaction from the audience by cheering on the hero and heroine and booing the villain. And you can't beat the atmosphere of being outside at the theater in Peninsula State Park!" - Rhonda V.
There's just under three weeks left in our 2026 summer season, and we'd love to share the magic of live theater in Peninsula State Park with all of you!

Yesterday we gathered at Coyote Roadhouse for our annual volunteer picnic to celebrate and thank the incredible 191 volunteers who give their time and energy to Northern Sky. ✨
As we enter our remaining three weeks of this unforgettable summer, we want to take a moment to reflect and give thanks to the volunteers who make it all possible. From ushering guests and driving patrons to their seats in our golf cart, to our award-winning Tuesday Crew, your time and dedication keep Northern Sky shining bright.

Our interns' top 5 "horror movies" for Northern Sky audience members:
1. Cheering for the villain
2. Missing out on our awesome bird puppets
3. Not drinking the Waukesha spring wate
4. Forgetting to wear a mustache to "Something in the Water"
5. Not seeing a Northern Sky show this summer!
Save yourself from the scariest fate of all... missing out on the season. Come by Peninsula State Park tonight at 7:30pm for "The Thing with Feathers"!

Meet the cast of characters in "When Butter Churns to Gold" and learn exactly how you're supposed to react when they hit the stage! 🧈
Boo the villains, cheer the heroes... but hold your applause for the sidekicks. They don't get songs, and they're definitely not allowed to share their innermost thoughts.
Catch it every Tuesday & Friday at 7:30pm at Peninsula State Park, now through August 28!✨

One year ago, journalist Elisabeth Vincentelli traveled to Door County to check out our little corner of the world, and the result of her stay was a beautiful feature on Northern Sky in The New York Times. 🌟
We're still deeply grateful for her time, attention, and the thoughtful article she wrote about our work. Coverage like this helps Northern Sky reach new fans across the state and country who might be looking for their next Door County tradition.
If you haven't read it yet (or want to revisit it), check out the link in the comments for a "gift" article and share it with someone who loves live theater under the stars. ✨
