Weidner Downtown Announces New Events at the Tarlton Theatre

The Weidner will enter its second year of partnership with The Tarlton Theatre to present The Weidner Downtown Series. This exciting series showcases an eclectic mix of live music, chamber theatre and free to attend film screenings. All events in The Weidner Downtown Series are in the historic Tarlton Theatre located in the heart of Downtown Green Bay.

Highlights for the upcoming series are a one-night-only performance of Bent Compass, a solo play based on true-life experiences of an Iraq War veteran. In December there will be a three-night residency of David Sedaris's classic collection of Christmas themed essays Holidays on Ice. The Weidner Downtown will also welcome Green Bay's popular STEAM Engine, an interactive speaker series with presentations exploring the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics.
