UW-Green Bay Weidner Center announces 2012-13 Performing Arts Season
Classic Broadway shows, entertaining comedy and eclectic music and dance are among the highlights of the 2012-13 Performing Arts Season lineup at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.
The signature University of Wisconsin-Green Bay venue announced its new season May 22 during a special event for patrons and friends. Individuals in attendance helped shape the new season by participating in the Weidner Center’s Strategic Planning process, which outlines a five-year plan for reinvigorating the venue. Officials say the season announcement is an exciting milestone in the Weidner’s re-launch.
“This lineup represents the kind of quality and variety audiences have come to expect from a venue of this caliber, while also offering the accessible pricing we know is important,” said Weidner Center General Manager Kate Green. “With the help of our stakeholders and friends, we’ve developed a fantastic season that we are so excited to share.”
