WHAT. A. RIDE. I’ve been quoted as saying the Pandemic was “like riding a rollercoaster with no seatbelt”. But, thanks to support from people like you, as well as COVID relief funds, we are still here, pivoting — no, tap-dancing – pirouetting through the changing times, with live performances, quality livestream, and an online, on-demand and free educational series. New Producers Circle experiences are on the horizon, as well. Vibrant as ever. As we go forward with resilience and resolve, your support to the Annual Fund is absolutely vital. Please consider a meaningful donation for whatever your circumstances allow, and help us to keep live entertainment thriving here in Downtown Oshkosh and the Greater Fox Valley. Thank you for your continued support. Joe Ferlo Director, The Grand Oshkosh joef@thegrandoshkosh.org
