What in the World is a World Premiere?

Basically, this is the very first time this play will be performed publicly anywhere in the world. The performance is a full, professional production complete with all the sets, costumes, and lighting you would expect from any production at Third Avenue PlayWorks, but as an audience member, you’ll be among the first ever to see the new work brought to life on stage.

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.
