KNOLL THEATER HARTFORD WISCONSIN 2 SCHAUER PERFORMING ARTS SEASON 17|18 FROM THE Executive Director IRST let me say that this last season flew by incredibly fast. It seems we spend so much F time negotiating, booking and waiting for the performance to come—and then, like that, it’s gone. Amazing! Thank you to everyone who supported our past season. I received countless positive comments regarding the kinds of performances we brought to the Schauer Center and we had several sold-out shows. All of this tells us we are on the right track in finding a balanced mix of the kind of performances people in our area want to see. However, we didn’t want to stop there. We wanted this season to be even better; our biggest challenge yet. With that goal in mind, we pulled out all the stops. This season is filled with platinum recording stars, TV performers, and national and international performing artists—all right here at the Schauer Arts Center. “I hope you’ll agree that red 2017 -18hot is going year! to be a —Joe Konrad P.S.
