During June, July, August and often through warm Octobers, summer theater abounds across the country. In Door County's Fish Creek, Wisconsin, Penninsula Players Theatre (PPT) has enchanted summer audiences for more than 80 years on the shores of Green Bay where the sunsets surprise each show night. Even when a close to an 80 miles per hour wind storm arrived one August afternoon and blackend the lights and power for an entire peninsula, the show went on. PPT plugged in the generators and lit candles to illuminate the tables and walkways so the classic farce Lend Me A Tenor played to an audience of approxiimately 300 people. The dedication to excellent performance extends far beyond what might be expected by the residents and tourists.
