MV Wells: Great Hall Concert Series

📍 Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE: https://ci.ovationtix.com/36819/production/1281892 A review of Chicago-based (but Fond du Lac native!) MV Wells' newest album, Le Dauphin, describes Wells as always having a "knack for hooks" and "His [vocals] carry a dry, knowing tone, equal parts charm and side-eye, pulling from the tradition of pub rock lifers like Nick Lowe and Wreckless Eric while staying rooted in the Midwest scenes that shaped him." Date: Thursday, September 17, 2026 Concert Time: 7:30 PM Bar Opens: 6:30 PM Location: Great Hall

Sasha has been a selected performer at the Limestone, 10k Laughs, Milwaukee, Midwest Queer, and Sno Jam comedy festivals and has opened for headliners Matteo Lane, Shane Torres, Robby Hoffman, Colin Jost, and Dave Attell. Her debut comedy album, “Dirty Nerd”, shot to #1 on iTunes shortly after its release in August of 2024. Ka$h Money Karl is hosting the evening, Eli Wilz is the featured comedian and Justin Landry has a guest spot on the show. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door!

Homeschool Hangout

📍 Wonder Play Cafe

Whether you're a seasoned homeschool family or just beginning your homeschooling journey, we'd love to have you join us for our monthly Homeschool Hangout! This month's theme is Board Games! We'll have a variety of family-friendly board games set up in our back seating area for kids and adults of all ages to enjoy. It's a fun way to meet other homeschool families, make new friends, and spend a relaxed morning together. Parents are invited to grab a coffee, chat, ask questions, share ideas, or simply connect with others who understand the homeschool adventure. Whether you're looking for curriculum recommendations, curious about different homeschooling styles, or just hoping to build community, this is a welcoming space for everyone. Our café and board game area are open to everyone at no cost—no play admission is required to participate in the meetup. If your children would also like to enjoy our indoor play area, regular play admission applies for children ages 10 and under. Socks are required for anyone entering the play area. There's no registration, no formal program, and no pressure—just a welcoming space to gather, connect, and enjoy community. We hope you'll join us!
