This heartwarming Wisconsin musical is a testament to the power of sisterhood and self-discovery. When a governor’s order uproots the small village of Fish Creek to make way for Peninsula State Park, two sisters must confront their fears and fight for the home they love. This charming show comes direct from Northern Sky Theater and celebrates the deep connections we share with our family, community and the land around us. With touching songs and homegrown humor, you’ll treasure this funny, fitting love letter to a slice of our great state’s history. JANUARY 9 – MARCH 1, 2026 | STACKNER CABARET

Directed by Molly Rhode Book, Music and Lyrics by Katie Dahl
