Sheboygan has a varied art and culture scene that you won’t want to miss. These are four of the best places to see art and music in the area. What’s offered is constantly changing so be sure to check back often.
Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra
At the Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts, experience the incredible performance of the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra. Home to Wisconsin’s oldest continually active orchestra, this orchestra has been performing since 1918. On February 16, 2020, a magical concert titled Teddy Bears and Tunes will be held, geared toward children from age three to grade three, though everyone is welcome. Young guests can bring their own teddy bears and blankets. Age three and under are free, and children’s tickets are just $5. For a full list of upcoming concerts, check the concert listings on the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra’s website.
Live Performances for Families
Also at the Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts, you’ll find theatrical performances involving storytelling and music. Join in the interactive, improvised performance of The Greatest Pirate Story (N)ever Told, taking place this January. After a tragic accident with squid ink, these pirates-turned-actors must rely on the ideas of the audience to fill in the blanks and go on with the show. There’s even a version for adults, Rated Arrr.
Don’t miss the Underwater Bubble Show next April; inspired by Cirque du Soleil, this performance involves dance, juggling, contortionism, sand art, soap bubble tornadoes, snow cannons, and optical illusions. The entire family will love the high interactivity of this show.
