Support Northern Sky Theater

Our 2024 End of Year Letter

Dear Friends,

I have a serious question to ask you: Why Northern Sky? 

Whether you’ve been to see us once or hundreds of times, the answer to that question is one that really matters to us. Do you like the stories we tell? Is it the setting? Particular actors? Is it because you can escape for a moment to laugh, to marvel, to soak in a favorite Door County experience? 

My own 40-year involvement with this company is tied in with family, with friends, with my love of storytelling and the natural beauty of Door County. But ultimately, it’s tied in with you. My interactions onstage and off with you are what have kept the inspiration alive. How does it feel to be a muse?

No doubt a large part of why you come to Door County is to unwind, to relax, to laugh, to share experiences with friends and family. We know that when you come to Door County the variety and amount of things to do on any given day can be overwhelming. So we want your Northern Sky experience to exceed your expectations and merit your time and money. How does it feel to be valued?

Here’s another question: What are your favorite shows at Northern Sky? 

We’d truly love to hear your answer to this question. We have created over 82 original shows in the last 35 years, many of which we continue to remount because you have embraced them so wholeheartedly. We want you to see what you like. Please consider sharing your list of favorites with us at info@northernskytheater.com or in the space below.

Here’s the deal: We want what we do at the park and in the Gould to matter to you. And we’re in a unique position to make sure that happens because we create everything from scratch. Our mission depends on how well you respond to the stories we tell. How does it feel to be an influencer? 

This past September we worked on five new musicals that are in development at Northern Sky. We had public readings for two of those shows to be sure our fans had a chance to offer feedback and get a glimpse of what lies ahead. Getting you involved early on will be part of our ongoing plan. How does it feel to be a collaborator? 

Our 2025 season has been chosen to showcase what we know you love about Northern Sky—funny, heartwarming, joyful musicals that celebrate our region and offer a unique Door County experience. If you haven’t already peeked, the full announcement is on the back. 

One final question: Why do you send us a donation? 

We want it to be because you trust us. No doubt, you want your Northern Sky experience to be something special. We want that for you, too. 

Please consider making your annual gift. We’ll put it to good use––we have lots in store for you. How does it feel to be appreciated? We hope really good, because you deserve it.

SEE YOU UNDER THE STARS,

Fred Alley New Musical Fund

Northern Sky produces original musical works. A new show can take three years of writing and workshopping before it is ready for production. Northern Sky needs to provide for our authors and directors with financial resources and time to continue bringing you the excellent shows that have become a standard for Northern Sky.

A gift of stock can provide much needed support for Northern Sky and offers you financial benefits as well. Publicly traded securities (stocks, bonds, etc.) may be transferred to Northern Sky, entitling you to an income tax reduction for the full market value of the securities.
