THE LION KING, the Tony winning international hit rolled into Madison this month and wardrobe supervisor Gregory Young generously gave me a behind the scenes peek at how he and his team transform the cast into powerful lions, graceful gazelles and hilarious hyenas.

Bianca Horn is no stranger to the Fireside Theatre. In fact, her role as Deloris Van Cartier in SISTER ACT makes this her fourteenth production. While theatre may have been her first love, she met her true love while performing at the Fireside.

Motown the Musical rocked into Overture Center in Madison on Tuesday night with an abundance of talent and energy delivering the memorable Hitsville, USA classics. This Berry Gordy biopic covers his life as a young boy striving for more, to a man borrowing money from his family to build a recording empire that changed history. The production culminates with the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of Motown.

The Fireside Theatre, Wisconsin's premiere dinner theatre located in Fort Atkinson, never shied away from a theatrical challenge. Whether it be creating magical moving furniture in Mary Poppins, an epic downpour in Singing in the Rain, or a tornado in Wizard of Oz on their theatre-in-the-round playhouse, they succeed in creating dazzling productions. Working in such an intimate space can be daunting when pulling off special effects that were created with large state-of-the-art venues and budgets in mind, but those hurdles have never held the Fireside back.
