This summer there are two opportunities to join your Nordic friends for an evening of laughter at Lapham Peak's Summer Stage on Wednesdays, June 25th and July 30th, at 7:30PM. If you don't have a state park sticker you will need to pay a special entrance fee of $10 or only $3 for seniors age 65+ that evening. These dates are "value nights" so all tickets are only $15 and may be purchased when you arrive or online ahead of time through their website https://summerstageofdelafield.org/. They recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time for these special value nights.
On June 25th we'll be seeing "The Liar", a farce by David Ives described in this way: "Step into the world of Paris in 1643 and follow the charming and quick-witted Dorante, who can’t tell the truth to save his life, as he navigates a whirlwind of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and outrageous lies. With razor-sharp dialogue, clever twists, and a cast of unforgettable characters, this play promises non-stop laughter and a delightful evening of theatrical magic."
On July 30th we'll be seeing "An Inspector Calls",a mystery/thriller by J.B. Priestley described this way: "Prepare for a gripping night of mystery and suspense! Set in 1912, this thrilling play unravels the secrets of the wealthy Birling family when a mysterious Inspector arrives, investigating the tragic death of a young woman. As the Inspector’s probing questions reveal hidden truths and moral dilemmas, the tension escalates, leading to a shocking and unforgettable climax. With its powerful social commentary and masterful storytelling, this production will keep you on the edge of your seat."
Summer Stage is situated in a natural grass amphitheater, so bring lawn chairs or a blanket for your place on the grass, and dress for the weather. They spray the area for mosquitos, but you might want to bring bug spray along, just in case. You are allowed to come as early as 6:00 PM and bring your own food and beverages to have a picnic before the play. They also sell snacks and a few beverages like water, beer, wine, & soda. After you park, it’s a 300 yard walk from the parking lot to the stage area, but they do have a golf cart that can take you right to the box office with your chairs & coolers if you need a lift. No pets are allowed, and smoking and the use of grills are prohibited.
If you have any questions and/or plan to attend, contact Joanne Ziarek at 262-821-2064 & leave a message, so we can look for you that evening.
