Northern Sky Theater performs outdoors under the stars in the summer at Peninsula State Park and indoors at the Gould Theater.
“Original musicals steeped in local history, archetypes and customs” (The New York Times). Northern Sky is a must-see Door County theater experience: original musicals presented beneath stars and towering pines in Peninsula Park Amphitheater, as well as indoors at the inti

mate, state-of-the-art Gould Theater. No matter the venue, Northern Sky is “as much a Door County tradition as cherry preserves…one of the most exceptional professional troupes in the country” (Chicago Tribune).

Eyeing a lot of items in our Raise the Curtain marketplace? 👀

Auto bidding is the best way to make sure you don't miss out — just pick your item, set your maximum, and the app takes it from there. If someone outbids you, the system automatically places the next minimum bid on your behalf — and never goes over the limit you set. You'll get an alert if you're outbid, so you're always in the loop. It's the best way to bid! 🎭
