M E S S AG E F R O M T H E A R T S C E N T E R D I R E C TO R Warming Up the Winter Months… If you missed Pat McCurdy in the cabaret in January, no need to fret! (he had the nearly sold out crowds on Friday and Saturday jumping and singing!) There’s still time to get tickets to our two remaining cabaret events with the Harrisons on February 11 & 12 and Electri-violet on March 25 & 26. Chef Brian Shoemake has outdone himself this year with outstanding specialty sandwiches and soups at the cabaret. The chef also has a variety of tasty, homemade desserts and a collage of your favorite beverages. You can have a great meal for around $10! The dinner starts serving at 6:30, the show at 7:00. You can still buy food at intermission! Plan to go back for seconds, I did! Thawing the Chill… There are three great events coming up this spring that will fit the bill for any discerning music and dance lover! Heat up your St. Patrick’s Day festivities and join us Saturday, March 19 at 7:30 pm for Milwaukee’s favorite Irish folk band, Leahy’s Luck. Back by popular demand after their impressive opening for the OAC in spring of 2009, these five musicians will make your Irish eyes smile and your toes tap. On Saturday, April 2 at 7:30 pm join us for award-winning and critically acclaimed Wisconsin author and humorist Michael Perry as he brings his band Michael Perry and the Long Beds to the OAC Main Stage. Their country and bluegrass swing will keep you hopping. Books & Company will be on hand during the event to sell the band’s CD’s and Michael Perry’s books. The whole band will be out in the lobby to chat and sign autographs! The spring will really get hot with the nationally acclaimed tap and stomp group Rhythmic Circus on Saturday, May 14 at 7:30 pm. This group features some of the hottest tap, jazz and stomp dancers you have ever seen backed up with their own band. 8 to 80, you will be on your feet after this one! A great event for the whole family! Check us out. We would love to have you be a part of the OAC family of patrons! Michael Duncan OAC Director
