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, home-

made 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 dis-

cerning 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!

MILWAUKEE BALLET T I I

The Milwaukee Ballet II program, established in 1978, nurtures and develops dancers’ technical skills and artistry required for a professional career in dance. The Nancy Einhorn Milwaukee Ballet II curriculum is based on the artistic vision of Milwaukee Ballet and gives dancers the training needed to bridge the gap between student and professional through performing opportunities with the Milwaukee Ballet Company, as well as performances created specifically for Milwaukee Ballet II. These dancers are a vital part of the Department of Education’s mission to reach and educate the community. Their participation in outreach programs through teaching and performing fully enhances their education.

The Milwaukee Ballet II program is meant to offer young dancers a way to become well-rounded citizens, not merely well-trained dancers. With the myriad of opportunities to perform, educate and continue training, dancers learn about many aspects of the professional dance world. The emphasis on personal growth and education is vitally important to the program and Milwaukee Ballet II dancers are given the chance to see as much dance as possible throughout the year with field trips around Milwaukee and to Chicago. Milwaukee Ballet II dancers work with the Director of Education to create and participate in educational workshops for schools and with other arts organizations such as the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum and the Milwaukee Public Libraries. Nearly all of the education programs utilize the Milwaukee Ballet II dancers so that people see firsthand the dancers in action as they learn about the art form of ballet. With the help of the Milwaukee Ballet II dancers, the education department has expanded its reach into the community to nearly 30,000 people each year.

Terry KaldhusdalThis is Terry Kaldhus-dal’s fifth documentary film. His previous work includes Thinking Like a Historian, for the Wis-consin State Historical Society, and America’s

Kings and Queens, The Gilded Age in Middle America, winner of the Wisconsin Historical Society’s 2010 Public Programs Award.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has writ-ten that Kaldhusdal’s work is “clear and concise” and added that he has a “passion for learning and a talent for communicat-ing.” Columnist Laurel Walker has called his work “A-plus” and stated that he has “a knack for documenting history.”

In 1991, Terry joined his wife as a classroom teacher and moved from Southern Cali-fornia to Wisconsin. He currently teaches fourth grade at Magee Elementary School in Genesee Depot. His students have cre-ated documentaries that include the his-tory of the Kettle Moraine School District and personal digital stories on everything from responsibility to the three branches of government. In 2009, one of Terry’s stu-dents was featured at the AHA Film Festival in Southern Illinois.

Terry has traveled across his state and across the country as a speaker to improve our educational system. He was honored in 2006 with the Kohl Fellowship Award, and in 2007 as the Wisconsin State Teacher of the Year. Terry resides in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin with his wife, Janet, and their three children.

Mike BernhagenMike Bernhagen is well-acquainted with the American medical system. From 1994 to 2003, he worked in business develop-ment with one of the

Midwest’s largest integrated healthcare delivery systems and multi-specialty group practices. During this decade, his time and energy were spent focusing on things like “physician incentive compensation plans”, “revenue growth”, “patient acquisition”, and “referral relationship development”. Those priorities changed in late 2003, however, when his mother, Rita, passed away from congestive heart failure and vascular dementia. Watching her slow, physical and cognitive decline as well the struggle of his family and her healthcare providers to deal with the process inspired him to join the hospice movement in 2004.

Since that time, Mike has been on the road working as a hospice advocate. Over the course of that journey, his travels have taken him to countless destinations - clin-ics, churches, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior citizen cen-ters, disease specific support groups, and private residences – where he’s talked with literally thousands of people from all walks of life. But, it has been with the dying and their loved ones that his most meaningful and rewarding conversations have taken place. In fact, one of the great lessons he’s learned from terminally ill people is that most are not afraid to die; rather they are afraid of the dying process. Some of the common fears they have are:

Am I going to suffer? Am I going to be a burden upon my family? Will I have to leave my home? Will I die alone? Will I still get to see my doctor? Will I leave unfinished business? In this documentary film, Mike sees the potential it has to make a difference - both in terms of de-mystifying the dying experience and encouraging people to begin the conversation about their end-of-life wishes well before the finish line is in sight. Mike and his wife, Denise, re-side in Waukesha, Wisconsin along with their two children, ages 13 and 9.

B IOGR APHIES

David Harrison is a folk singer from Bicester, England. He has played the guitar since age 15. As a self-taught musician, David looked to the playing and singing

styles of folk greats such as James Taylor, Tom Paxton, and John Denver for inspiration. Music is David’s passion and he enjoys listening to all types of music. During the past several years, he has regularly played in local venues such as Books and Company in Oconomowoc, Jessica’s Café in Delafield, and Wineste-ins in Oconomowoc. Unfortunately the last two establishments are no longer in business. Whoops. Harrison eventually teamed up with his son on mandolin and vocals. Last summer the Harrisons performed in Oconomowoc’s Got Talent.

Davey Harrison was born in Gloucester, England in 1990. From an early age, Davey was exposed to all types of music. Throughout his career in the Oconomowoc

Area School District, he was an active member in the music and drama departments. As a sophomore at Lawrence University, Davey is currently pursuing a Bachelors of Music Degree in Vocal Performance. During his teenage years, Davey fell in love with the mandolin. It first captured his attention after listening to mandolinist Chris Thile in his band Nickel Creek. After hearing the opening track of Nickel Creek’s debut album Davey was hooked on the mandolin. From that moment, the mandolin has consumed every moment of his free time. Davey is always proud to join his father on stage, especially tonight. The Harrisons hope that you will enjoy their interpretation of several acoustic classics and also their original songs.

PROGR A M NOTES

A marionette is a puppet controlled from above by strings. The word “marionette” is derived from “Mary” and originated in Europe in the Middle Ages when nativity plays were performed using the stringed puppets. However, marionettes themselves are much older and no specific date can be given.

In the U.S. puppet shows are often considered to be exclusively for children, however throughout the rest of the world, puppet and marionette plays are classically adult entertainment.

Joseph Cashore is a resident of Colmar, PA. Joe graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has been making marionettes for more than 30 years. He is an accomplished artist as well as puppeteer, and his talent in sculpture and portraiture is evident in his marionettes. The marionettes, their clothing, and all the props have been made entirely by Mr. Cashore.

B IOGR APHY

Joseph Cashore

At the age of 11, Joseph Cashore created his first marionette from clothespins, wood string and a tin can.

It was while playing with this puppet that he was startled by the sudden but momentary sensation that the puppet was alive. This illusion had nothing to do with the appearance of the marionette and everything to do with the quality of the movement.

After graduation from college Mr. Cashore made his second marionette. He remembered that first marionette from childhood and thought he would try to make a puppet that could sustain and extend that sensation of being alive. He quickly discovered that in order to have the fluid motion he sought, he would have to create his own control designs.
