As one of the greatest comedies ever written, Shakespeare and APT deliver a

performance of deep, satisfying laughter. All the key ingredients are here –

romance, mistaken identities, women falling in love with men who turn out

to be women – and it’s made all the more tantalizing by the rich

characters. From the exquisitely courageous Viola to the beautiful and

bereaved Olivia to the insufferable Malvolio, everyone is dealing with a

sort of crisis. There is debauchery. There is singing. There is a fellow named

Belch. Twelfth Night is both achingly funny and profoundly beautiful. An

At one time, Oshkosh was known as the "Sawdust Capital of the World"

with over 47 sawmills and 15 shingle mills. In 1870, Oshkosh had become the

third-largest city in Wisconsin with a population of over 12,000. Join us on

guided tours of two vestiges of those by-gone days.

The Oshkosh Public Museum once was the house of Edgar and Mary Jewell

Sawyer House. The interior of the building was designed by the famous

Tiffany Studios. The museum documents the arrival of immigrants from

Eastern Europe into the region. The Paine Mansion was built for lumber

baron Nathan Paine and his wife, Jessie Kimberly Paine. Construction of the

Tudor Revival style mansion began in 1927 and the exterior was completed in

1930. All work was halted in 1932 with the advent of the Great Depression.

The Paines returned to the project in 1946 and established a non-profit

organization to own and manage the estate for public benefit. It finally

opened to the public in 1948. The Paine estate features a historic house

museum with art gallery, and is surrounded by extensive gardens. The house

contains French Barbizon school and American paintings, sculptures, and

decorative wood workings, Persian rugs, tapestries, and English and

American silver and china. An exhibit featuring 48 masterworks by Ansel

Adams will also be on display. You will be contacted prior to the event and

Fee: $30 (lunch and parking at the club included)

Location: Wisconsin Club, 900 West Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53233

Program No. SUMR:44

In 1891 three Milwaukee businessmen held several meetings to organize the

founding of a new social club. The purpose of the club was to promote and

provide a venue for German-American understanding and fellowship. The

first home of the new club, called the ‘Deutscher’ or ‘German’ Club, was in

the Old Opera House near the site of the present Pabst Theatre. In early

1894 a fire broke out and severely damaged the clubrooms. A new home had

to be found. Several alternatives were considered including disbanding the

club which was in a poor financial state. When the vacant Mitchell Mansion

on Grand Avenue (now Wisconsin Avenue) was brought to the attention of

club members, shortly after the death of Alexander Mitchell, all thoughts of

dissolution vanished. An offer of over $100,000 was made and accepted.

The Deutscher Club moved into its new quarters in early 1895 and began to

settle in for a long stay. Enrollees will be contacted prior to the event and

asked to choose an entrée from a selected menu. The size of the group is

limited to 40 for this event.
