Sunset Playhouse

Saunders, manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is ready to welcome world-famous tenor Tito Merelli for a one-night-only performance. But when the singer&nbsp;arrives late and accidentally takes a double dose of tranquilizers, he passes out cold.
Believing he’s dead, Saunders and the assistant hatch a plan: Max must disguise himself as Tito and perform in his place. Max pulls it off—until Tito wakes up and puts on the same costume, ready to go on stage! With two identical “Il Stupendos” running around, confused lovers, and mistaken identities galore, the madness escalates into a hilarious farce.
A hit on Broadway and London’s West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.

Wickedly funny and brilliantly executed—a comedy you’ll be talking about long after the curtain falls!
Suggested for mature audiences due to language and adult situations.

Forest Exploration Center

We’re collecting acorns to help future forests grow! This special stewardship activity will teach you how to identify red and white oaks and their acorns, provide a guided off-trail experience in the Forest, and contribute to Wisconsin’s Trillion Trees Pledge and statewide reforestation efforts. 
Led by a Wisconsin DNR forester, stewards will walk the forest trails and designated off-trail areas to hand-collect acorns that have fallen to the forest floor. Along the way we’ll discuss dedicated oak regeneration efforts at the FEC and other climate-smart adaptive strategies.
The Department of Natural Resources <a target="_blank" href="https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/TreePlanting" rel="nofollow noopener">reforestation program</a> grows high-quality native tree seedlings and shrubs to plant on private and public lands for conservation and to contribute to the forest products industry.

Come take a walk among the brilliant fall colors at the Forest Exploration Center. We’ll explore and photograph the hidden world of the forest in autumn, looking for the unique shapes, colors, and textures of the season. We'll search for signs of life among the falling leaves, tucked into tree cavities, and practice some tree and fungi identification. These tiny details can open up a whole world of forest life, and make for some very interesting photo subjects as well.With master naturalist Danielle Pahlisch of Milwaukee County Parks and Kimberly Mackowski of TheParkNextDoor.Registration is free, but required.
