Local talent keeps TAP on its toes

When you check out a show at Third Avenue PlayWorks in Sturgeon Bay, there is a great chance that a person you have met before will appear on their stage. That is the case with TAP’s current production of The 39 Steps, a thrilling, fast-paced adaptation of the Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. Artistic Director Jacob Janssen says the show, which runs through August 10th, has been well-received during its run, leading to a crunch on ticket availability. One of the stars of the show is Dan Klarer, a Sturgeon Bay resident who lives just blocks away from the theater. Janssen says TAP takes great pride in casting many local artists for their productions because of the remarkable talent that can be found throughout the county.
