British Invasion at the Cedarburg PAC

2010-09-19T13:41:00.000-07:00

On Friday, October 15, the Visiting Artists Series launches another blockbuster season with legendary 60s British pop band Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone. The group achieved international fame with hits including “I’m Into Something Good,” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” “Silhouettes,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” “Just A Little Bit Better,” “Wonderful World,” “There’s A Kind of Hush,” “A Must To Avoid,” “Listen People,” “The End of the World” and “Dandy.” Herman’s Hermits has sold over sixty million recordings. In all, fourteen singles and seven albums went Gold. The Hermits were twice named Cashbox’s “Entertainer of the Year”.

Today, Noone consistently plays to sold-out venues the world over. He has a legion of faithful fans (known as “Noonatics”) whose loyalty is unparalleled. Today’s teen girls scream just as passionately as their mothers did back in 1965, prompting VH1 to select Noone as their viewer’s choice for the “Sexiest Artist of the Year.”

We’re thrilled to present the incomparable Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone at the Cedarburg PAC. This is one show you won’t want to miss! Don’t be disappointed. Call the box office now to reserve your seats

Cedarburg PAC & Livingston Taylor on TV

2010-07-15T11:49:00.000-07:00

Milwaukee Public Television, Channel 10, will broadcast Livingston Taylor's May 14th Cedarburg PAC performance tonight at 9pm.

A Day With Livingston Taylor

2010-05-17T18:55:00.000-07:00

Livingston Taylor arrived at the Cedarburg PAC on the morning of May 14th just in time to be interviewed by Milwaukee Public Television as an intro to their day of filming his visit to Cedarburg.

He then conducted a two hour workshop for 75 "students of all ages". He led students in various impromptu pieces and discussed the importance of audiences to a performer. In addition, he critiqued three amazing vocal students who performed selections they had prepared for the workshop. At the end of the workshop students gathered around him on the edge of the stage posing questions and receiving advice. Finally Taylor advised a young guitar player as the student played for him in our theater lobby. Taylor's background as a professor at Berklee College of Music was apparent throughout his visit.

That evening Livingston Taylor opened the show by inviting our senior intern, Maddie Arneson, to play the piano and sing the beautiful song "The Hill". Maddie was taken by surprise but performed like a professional. Taylor then spent the evening entertaining a happy audience with folk-songs, ballads, and numerous stories.

A few minutes ago one of our Founding Sponsors told me that the evening was one of his "all time 10 favorites". He isn't alone. It was a great show performed to a very appreciative audience! The entire performance was filmed by MPTV and will premier on July 15th on Channel 10 in Milwaukee.

We have had a fantastic 10th Anniversary Season but we are looking forward to an even more exciting Series next year. We open our 2010-2011 Visiting Artists Series on October 15th with HERMAN'S HERMITS STARRING PETER NOONE..

Watch for our next blog with a listing of the entire upcoming season. And thanks again to everyone who made our anniversary year a success! MD

Livingston Taylor will join us at 7:30pm on Friday, May 14th at our Cedarburg Performing Arts Center. Taylor was with us 10 years ago and many of you have been asking us to bring him back ever since.

He is a songwriter, performer and teacher. From top-forty hits “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running,” to “I Can Dream of You” and “Boatman” both recorded by his brother James, Livingston’s creative output has continued unabated. His musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres—folk, pop, gospel, jazz—and from upbeat storytelling to touching ballads.

Livingston has never stopped performing since his early coffeehouse days, touring with major artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffet and Jethro Tull. He is a natural performer, peppering his shows with personal stories, anecdotes and ineffable warmth that connect him to his fans. His relaxed on-stage presence belies the depth of his musical knowledge.

Call our Box Office at 262-376-6161 for tickets now. We will look forward to seeing you that evening!

Marcia Ball tonight!

2010-03-06T07:28:00.000-08:00

Looking forward to tonight's performance by Marcia Ball and her group. Sounds like a great group of people will be joining us for the evening! Tickets still available, call the CPAC Box Office at 262-376-6161.

Marcia Ball at the CPAC on March 6th

2010-02-18T08:40:00.000-08:00

The simple mention of a Louisiana or Texas roadhouse conjures up images of a crowded dancehall filled wall-to-wall with excited music fans moving to the sounds of a smoldering blend of swampy R&B, jumping blues and heart-wrenching ballads. Pianist/vocalist/songwriter Marcia Ball brings that spirit to every concert she plays and every song she records.

On Saturday, March 6, Marcia Ball brings that spirit to the Cedarburg PAC for a rare and highly anticipated evening of New Orleans R&B and driving Gulf Coast blues. Between her deeply emotive vocals and her incisive, often poignant songwriting, Ball is in a class by herself.

The Boston Herald says, “Piano pounding Marcia Ball plays masterful, red hot tracks from the Texas-Louisiana border. Her voice can break your heart with a ballad or break your back with a rocker.”

Very few performers have the ability to captivate audiences with such a powerful blend of styles and emotions. Experience Marcia Ball on the stage of the Cedarburg PAC on March 6 at 7:30 p.m. Call the box office at 262.376.6161 while tickets are still available! Individual tickets are $42.

Robert Post

2010-02-07T18:02:00.000-08:00

On January 30, 2010 the talented actor, Robert Post thoroughly entertained our Cedarburg PAC audience.

Audience members were amazed with his artistry-he juggled, he was a mime, he was a comedian, a puppeteer. Truly we all questioned what our eyes we were seeing.

The following Monday he returned to our theater for two performances and a workshop attended by 500 middle school and high school students. In addition, several older adults from local senior residence centers were in the audience. It was a great mix with banter flying back and forth between the students, the seniors and Post.

His visit exemplified the fine entertainment, as well as educational, value that we offer our audience members.

Actor? Comedian? Juggler? Robert Post creates a charismatic comedy feast that unleashes the imagination and defies description. Equally at home in concert halls or classrooms, he's an entire theater company himself specializing in rapid-fire character changes, even different roles for different body parts. The New York Times raved, "Post merits a place on everybody's team of the goofily gifted." Over the past 27 years Post has performed in almost every conceivable setting. He has created over 30 works since 1973 all of which are presented in a relaxed, improvisational style that creates an immediate connection between audience and performer.
