Petition to save UWO-Fox Cities Communications building

(X-post from r/Appleton) If anyone in the area likes community theatre or has ever seen a show at this building, there is a petition to save it and keep it in the community for events, concerts, and theatre. This is due to the recent news of UWO's closure of the campus.

Winnebago and Outagamie counties will be deciding the fate of this building and this petition is being presented to those county boards.

Some may ask, "Why? We have the PAC". Answer: the PAC doesn't have local theatre.

If you appreciate quality local theatre at lower prices, or simply don't want it replaced with yet another car wash or storage facility, please consider signing it.

Free Goldenrod Plants for anyone local who can pick up in Kimberly

Broke my phone, so no pictures. Pulled a bunch of nice Solidago out of our garden this year, and just thought I'd offer them out for those who might want some. There is somewhere between half and a dozen plants total, with soil clumps around the roots.. First come, first serve.

Oshkosh Community Players presents "The Alibis"

When eccentric billionaire J. Leslie Arlington is murdered, a clueless detective finds the suspects are all reluctant to admit their alibis ... because they were all committing other ridiculous crimes at the time. You never know what's coming next when your suspects include disgruntled chefs, teen detectives, and vengeful divas, but one thing's for certain: Every alibi is absolutely absurd.

OCP is made up of volunteer artists from across the Fox Valley dedicated to quality local theatre. Their performance space for this production is the Grand Theatre in Oshkosh.

Purchase tickets here: https://thegrandoshkosh.org/58-2023-2024-season/oshkosh-community-players/628-oshkosh-community-players-presents-the-alibis.html

Fox Valley family history & ancestry

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Wisconsin family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Wisconsin family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

  • Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
  • Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
  • Most common causes of death in your family history
  • United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
  • Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
  • Most popular professions and careers in your family history
  • Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of Wisconsin, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

Stephen King fan? Misery is at the Grand in Oshkosh

Oshkosh Community Players are putting on "Misery", a theatrical adaptation of the Stephen King novel, at The Grand Theatre in Oshkosh March 23rd through March 25th.

About the show:

Thursday-Saturday, March 23-25, 2023 | 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 25, 2023 | 2:00 p.m. 

Based on the best-selling novel and award-winning film, “Misery” comes to life onstage this spring at The Grand. It follows the story of an author, Paul Sheldon, who finds himself under the care of his number one fan, Annie Wilkes, following a devastating car accident in the Colorado wilderness. The seemingly selfless rescue turns sinister as Annie discovers that Paul has killed off her beloved heroine in the latest chapter of his Misery Chastain book series. Her fantasies now thwarted - both in life and in her favorite literary world - Annie forces Paul to rewrite the ending, or face his own untimely demise.

This fast-paced, psychological thriller unravels in a way only Stephen King and William Goldman could achieve, and will have you on the edge of your seat for the full 90 minutes.

Not suitable for children.

Tickets: $18 | 19   Suite Seats: $25

Tickets can be purchased at the Grand's website: https://thegrandoshkosh.showare.com/

Attending Local Theatre shows

I'm curious to know what area people think about attending live theatre in Appleton. I know the PAC has traveling Broadway shows, but tickets are sometimes $200 a seat, which seems insane to me. There are some really good community theatre groups in the area for much cheaper too, like $20 a seat on avg.

I know in the post-Covid world that many people want to stay home and stream their entertainment, but if you've ever considered it, what made you either go to a PAC traveling Broadway-esque or a community theatre show or decide to stay home?

e.g. What types of shows motivate you to leave the house? Or what bad experience turned you off to attending live theatre entirely?

Posting on r/Appleton as well.
