In-Person | Registration opens 8/5/2026 9:00 AM CDT
Step behind the curtain and into the creative heart of Northern Sky Theater! This engaging course offers an insider’s tour of Norther Sky’s creative campus and our Company’s history, paired with a dynamic exp, and discover how playwrights, composers, performers, directors, choreographers, and designers collaborate to shape story, music, movement and visual world into a cohesive theatrical experience.
Through lively discussion providing behind-the-scenes insight with Artistic Director Molly Rhode, Playwright Tami Workentin, and Resident Designer Lisa Schlenker, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry, problem-solving, and teamwork that transform imagination into live performance. Learn how new work is developed, refined, and staged-right here in Door County-through an iterative process that values experimentation, feedback, and creative risk.
Come away inspired by the power of collaboration and storytelling, with a richer understanding of how theater is made from the inside out. As a special bonus, participants will receive access to a discount code for tickets to George and Gracie: A Love Story, offering the opportunity to experience firsthand the kind of work explored in this course.
