Intermission This year, the Chicago Children’s Choir and Leahy become part of a 65- year tradition of diverse theatrical, musi- cal, and intellectual performances that touch the lives of residents of the Village of Kohler and the surrounding commu- nity. It all began in 1944 when the late Ruth DeYoung Kohler was instrumental in bringing guest lecturers and musical attractions to the meetings of the Kohler Women’s Club. Eventually, these after- noon shows evolved into one of the longest-running performing arts series in Wisconsin. Today, the Kohler Foundation Inc. continues to bring culture and the arts to the local community with the Distinguished Guest Series. To celebrate the 65-year milestone, attendees to the Oct. 18 performance will enjoy a party to remember during intermission, com- plete with anniversary cake and other sweet treats, live music, and a few sur- prises. Ticket Prices Tickets for the Chicago Children’s Choir and Leahy are $49 (A section) or $39 (B section) (students* $25/$20). Order tickets online at www.kohlerfoun- dation.org/tickets or by calling (920) 458-1972. Season tickets are available for $98 (A section) or $78 (B section) (students $49/$39).
